Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, Isack Hadjar reveal their Champions League final predictions

As the 2025 UEFA Champions League final approaches, with Paris Saint-Germain set to face Inter Milan at the Munich Football Arena later today, French Formula 1 drivers Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, and Isack Hadjar have shared their excitement and predictions for the match.

All three French drivers, who are currently preparing for qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix, will be watching the match, which is scheduled to kick off at 20:00 CET.

When approached by F1 about their viewing plans for tonight’s final, Ocon responded, “I will. I will. Big stress!” The Haas driver went on to predict a 1-nil finish for Paris. 

Gasly and Hadjar are set to watch the game together, and both predicted a final score of “3-2 for Paris.”

Both the Alpine driver and Racing Bulls rookie took part in the annual charity football match ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. While speaking to Motorsport.com and other media ahead of the race weekend in Monte Carlo, Gasly joked about Hadjar’s performance. Revealing if the rookie F1 driver had a future at FC Versailles, Gasly explained:

“No, I mean in the management, yeah, maybe. I like his mentality and his team spirit, so not on the pitch. He runs, I must say he’s a great player because he’s just goes all out, same as on track. He’s the same on the pitch. So I’m not too sure for the body is the best, but at least for the team, it’s great.”

Hadjar also commented: “Yeah, it was tough on the legs. It was really tough, I never actually played 11 against 11 on a real size pitch, you know, so that’s done for me. It was weird. It was really hard, much harder than I expected. I realised also my muscles are not made for football, you know, changing directions and it was tough.”

Speaking in more detail about the charity match, Gasly explained:

“Well, the enjoyment is probably 100 out of 10. I love football, I love playing, I love the feeling. I used to play when I was a kid and I absolutely loved every single game and practice and to be able to play in this sort of event, especially in an iconic stadium, kind of remind me of some of my dreams I had when I was a kid.

“So, to me it’s incredible to live this moment and then on top to be able to share a moment where you get the drivers which, you know, ultimately are your rivals when you get to the track, to work together it’s quite a unique feeling. So yesterday, I’m with Isack on my left, trying to work out how to score a goal, to defend together with Carlos.

“It’s just a nice event and a nice way to get into the Monaco race weekend and on top of that, we do it for charities. There was the Jules Foundation Association yesterday that we supported and it’s just great to gather a lot of people. The fans are happy. We are happy. We get some money to support those charities, so it’s just a great win for everybody, but it’s unique to Monaco and it’s always a great highlight of the weekend.”
