Many Formula 1 drivers are not only actively interested in tennis, but sometimes take to the track themselves, although of course they play a little worse than driving the world’s fastest race cars.
And when the Monte-Carlo Masters tennis tournament takes place in Monaco, they try not to miss this event, especially the final matches. Today the Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev and Dane Holger Rune compete for the main prizes and you will see familiar faces in the stands: Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly watching the final. By the way, the other day we talked about George Russell being at one of the games.
“For Monaco, this is one of the most important sporting events of the year and I live in Monaco, so I am very happy to attend these races. I am here with my best friend and with Pierre, with whom we are only rivals on the track , but beyond that we have very good friendly relations, ”said the Ferrari driver in an interview with the tournament’s press service.
By the way, on the way to the VIP stand he was very friendly with Prince Albert II. The ruler of Monaco greeted Gasly, the pilot of the Alpine F1, no less cordially.
“This is my first time at this tournament,” added Pierre. – Of course, I am very interested in watching the last game. In general, I like the competitive spirit, I really enjoy watching such great tennis masters play and enjoy this atmosphere.
It should be added that the Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev won the final in three games.
