I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
George Russell has waxed lyrical over Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon victory on social media after the Mercedes driver attended Sunday's final.
Russell was present at Centre Court with his partner Carmen Montero Mundt to watch the men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
The match was blockbuster and was eventually won by Sinner after an absorbing contest.
The Italian is a huge F1 fan and is known officially as a 'Friend of F1', meaning that he supports promotion of the sport through fan engagement.
After winning the tournament, Sinner comically stated: "Special thanks to my brother because there’s no Formula 1 race this weekend. That’s why he’s here.”

Russell attended the event with his partner Carmen, clearly enjoying the match.
Where does George Russell's F1 future lie?
Attending the event will doubtlessly be a welcome break from Russell away from the F1 world. He gets back in the car in a few weeks time for the Belgian Grand Prix weekend at Spa.
