Sinner and other circuit stars invited to the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix
Jannik Sinner is enjoying a well-deserved vacation after a season in which he dominated the men's circuit. The world No.1 was in Abu Dhabi this afternoon to attend the final Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season.
The Italian was able to chat with a number of drivers, including Charles Leclerc and world champion Max Verstappen.
He also visited the Ferrari garage and then had the honor of waving the chequered flag at the end of the race (see publication below).
But Sinner wasn't the only tennis player present in the United Arab Emirates this afternoon.
Caroline Garcia, who is currently in Dubai for her preseason, was able to take a photo alongside the world No.1.
Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa were also invited to the event.
The Belarusian was able to don a driver's suit from the French Alpine team, before dancing with some of the garage's employees (see video below).
