Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill impressed Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly on Friday at the 2023 Miami Grand Prix. The NFL star managed to perform admirably in a reflex drill for racers.
Hill, 29, has lighting-quick feet and some of the best hands in the league, but his reflexes are still subpar compared to Gasly, whose life depends on split-second decisions.

Gasly, 27, was still quite impressed by how Hill managed to catch the tennis balls every time, even though some of the takes were a bit on the rough side.
When the F1 racer atttempted the reflex drill, it was quite evident that he’s on a different level, catching the balls in a fraction of a second every single time.
Hill spent all day with the Alpine driver and was even on Gasly’s radio during Day 1 of the event, which consisted of two practice sessions.

“Good luck brother,” Hill told Gasly via radio. “Be fast like the cheetah, baby.”
“Copy champ, thanks,” replied the French star.
Gasly is known for being a huge fan of the NFL and has met Hill in the past. It’s clear they have forged a great relationship.
Hill wasn’t the only celebrity present for Day 1 of the Miami GP. DJ Khaled was also spotted in attendance and model Veronika Rajek shared her outfit for Friday’s session.
