Jannik Sinner was one of the sporting royalty during the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings overtook legends such as Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry on the grid before the final race of the season.
Sinner also spent time with George Russell, Kimi Antonelli, Toto Wolff, Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon, among others. In an interview with an F1 social media channelthe Italian was asked which driver’s mentality most resembles his.
“The mental aspect is obviously very important. If I had to pick one, I might say George [Russell]Sinner said. ‘He’s very relaxed. Obviously very focused and concentrated during his race. Sounds a lot like me.”
This was not Sinner’s first Formula 1 experience. He was also in Turin with Antonelli less than a month ago.
After the ATP No. 1 club member won the Nitto ATP Finals on November 16, Antonelli joined him on court. Before Sinner’s win against Carlos Alcaraz, Antonelli told ATP social channels that he is “a big fan of Jannik” and that his compatriot “looks very strong.”
