We have already talked about that : Formula 1 drivers, a bit like footballers, are often fans of padel.
We have further proof of this with Scuderia Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. Interviewed by our colleagues from Circus F1, the latter explained that the two men like to engage in different types of competitions:
“We have a lot of fun off the track. This year we have 23 grand prix, so we will have a lot of free time between competitions and I am looking forward to challenging him to padel or any other sport, like when we are on the track, and I am sure we will have fun.”
So in your opinion, who will be more comfortable on the (padel) court? The Spaniard Sainz or the Monegasque Leclerc?
