Daniil Medvedev is a big Formula 1 fan, and he used his early Roland Garros exit to attend one of the races.
Tennis and Formula 1 seem to get along really well recently. F1 drivers George Russell and Nyck De Vries attended the 2023 Monte-Carlo Masters, which is an Atp 1000 event played in Monte-Carlo, Monaco, only a few weeks ago.
But also current and former tennis players have attended F1 races over the past few weeks. Roger Federer was spotted in Paddock during the 2023 Miami Grand Prix, and the Swiss Maestro soon reunited with Juan Martin Del Potro, but also with the Williams sisters, who all attended the race too.
Last week, the Formula 1 world moved to Monaco, where another former player, Maria Sharapova, appeared, this time presenting the winner of qualifying, Max Verstappen, with a pole position award.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion has been making the most of his retirement, attending high-profile events like the Met Gala as a co-host and now the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

The event has attracted a star-studded audience, with big names like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk also making an appearance in the paddock. Federer's attendance adds to the already electric atmosphere, as the tennis legend is known for his charisma and sportsmanship.

Suzuka (Japan), Oct 8 (Ians) Formula One team AlphaTauri have announced Dutch driver Nyck de Vries will join the team from 2023, following the news that their current driver Pierre Gasly will be moving to Alpine to partner Esteban Ocon next season.
The 27-year-old De Vries has enjoyed Free Practice 1 (FP1) outings for Mercedes, Aston Martin and Williams in 2022, giving him plenty of mileage in the new generation of Formula 1 machinery, according to a report on formula1.com.
But with an unwell Thai-British driver Alex Albon ruled out of the Italian Grand Prix in September, De Vries was catapulted in at Williams, impressing everyone with a mature drive to P9 on his maiden outing.
