Sinner mentioned that he feels ‘honoured’ to be given this opportunity by the F1. 

Being Italian, F1 is in my blood, so I couldn’t be more excited to be working with not only the best brand in motorsports, but the best sports platform in the world. I am honoured to be given this opportunity and truly thrilled to be a Friend of F1.

One of the main reasons why I love F1, whether that’s watching, karting with my friends, or racing in a simulator, is because I feel there’s a lot of synergies between tennis and racing. I feel that in both sports it’s all about the 1% and it’s the small details that make a huge difference. 

Jannik finds it fascinating how the teams keep on improving their cars and the drivers keep on honing their skills to beat their rivals by a fraction of a millisecond. All this is done week in and week out with tremendous pressure at the highest level.
