Daniil Medvedev appears to be a big Formula 1 fan, and particularly of Max Verstappen. The number one of the world rankings in tennis closely follows the achievements of the Red Bull Racing driver. He says so in an interview with Ziggo Sport.
"I respect Max, he is a great driver. Actually this season even more than last year. This year he is so strong and so consistent. And even if he starts from P10... Some people then hope Leclerc wins, so that the championship becomes more exciting, but Max just won. He is great," said Russia's Medvedev, who believes Verstappen will win his second world title.
