What is your favourite movie?

Maro Engel: The Rock with Sean Connery and Gladiator. Edo Mortara: I don’t have any favourite movies to be honest. Pretty much just like to go to the cinema and see the latest movies. Not really into movies so much.

First of all, Gladiator has one of the greatest opening scenes of all time. If you haven’t seen it and enjoy classic action with heartache, thats the movie for you. As far as Maro’s other choice? Its certainly unique.

Now we won’t say ‘The Rock’ is one of Sean Connery’s finest films but it does give you a nice reminder of his glory days as James Bond or Indiana Jones father. Edo must be more of a music fan so we will give him a break this time.

If you could be best friends with any actress/actor who would it be?

Maro: Uhh best actor/actress would be Sean Connery, in the Rock for example. Or in his James Bond movies, pretty awesome. Or Ryan Gosling because all the hot chicks are hanging around him, no just joking. But yeah Ryan Gosling is pretty cool. Edo: No idea, I don’t know, I enjoy looking at them in movies but i’m not sure what they are like in real life.

Ryan Gosling recently stared in the new Blade Runner film.

A classy answer from Edo was coupled with Maro’s dream to be friends with James Bond. We also don’t blame him for wanting to be friends with Ryan Gosling. Not to mention, Ryan Gosling is a great Canadian boy as hockey legend Don Cherry would say.

Besides racing video games what other games do you play? NHL, NBA 2K, FIFA?

Maro: I still play quite a bit of football, I used to play a lot of football. I like to think I could have been a very average professional in football. I’m quite happy I took the choice to go racing when I was younger and put football aside. But yeah still love football. Golf as well, don’t have much time lately to play it. Love a good game with friends. Edo: I was playing quite a lot of Fifa with my friends. I’m not anymore but I used to play quite a bit. Fifa was quite a big video game actually.

We may have to challenge Edo to a game of Fifa at some point after getting that answer. Best of 7? For Maro, a round of golf is available on us.

Do you have a pre-race meal you have to eat every time? Is it a nice Junior Chicken from McDonald's or a home cooked meal?

Maro: Not really but i’m a big pasta fan. So mainly on race weekends i’ll have pasta with salmon fillet or something light with tomato or maybe even pesto sauce. Big pasta fan. Edo: For sure McDonald's all the way. Especially in formula E you want to be fat and heavy, no no nothing special. I like to eat quite light during race weekends. Other than that no real preference as long as its easy to digest its perfect for me.

Not really sure why the guys didn’t pick McDonald's…guess they aren’t a fan of the inevitable stomach cramps after eating a Big Mac.

What is one hobby you have that nobody knows about? Long walks on the beach? Pottery classes?

Maro: Quite a big billiard or snooker fan. I have a friend I play with and those matches can take 5, or 6 hours. We just dig into the cave and have a big snooker or billiard rally. Edo: Don’t really know actually, if i’m home and my friends are free I like to play football with them. In winter because i’m living in Switzerland its easy to go skiing. In summer we have a big lake in Geneva, lake Leman, so we can have some fun with water sports.

Edo Mortara having some casual fun.

We hope you enjoyed getting to know these awesome drivers a little bit more. They will be racing again soon in Mexico City for round five of the fourth Formula E season.

Let us know what you thought and maybe we could persuade them to participate in a nice friendly game of Fifa.
