Gasly: "Would love to sit at a table with Obama"

In an interview that was about anything but racing, Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly has revealed that if there's one person with whom he could have dinner with, it would be former US president Barack Obama.

Gasly was asked this rather odd question by FormulaPassion, and he gave a surprisingly profound answer.

"If I could choose to have dinner with one person it would be Barack Obama," he said.

"He's a very intelligent person of whom I've seen many speeches.

"He's an incredible speaker, he has a lot of charisma and he always seems to be one step ahead of everybody else.

"A person that thinks much quicker than others."

When he was asked what he would be eating at that dinner, Gasly was very quick to respond. He says that there's one dish that he'd like over everything else.

"My mother's tiramisu.

"With the right cookies in the recipe, of course!"
