Emma Raducanu follows mentor Lewis Hamilton as Brit swaps tennis for race track
Emma Raducanu joked that she was trying a new workout as she hit the race track following an early Miami Open exit.
Emma Raducanu swapped out her tennis racket for a helmet recently as the Brit shared some snaps of herself at a racing track. The British No 1 has previously made it no secret that she loves F1 and followed in the footsteps of her mentor and idol Lewis Hamilton, getting kitted out to go around the track.
Raducanu is currently gearing up for the clay-court season following an opening-round defeat at the Miami Open. The 20-year-old will be back in action at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in two weeks’ time but for now, she has traded in tennis for racing.
The world No 68 took to Instagram to share a series of photos from a race track, while also throwing in a throwback picture of herself donning a suit and helmet as a child. “Reviving the cooler Emma in a different type of workout,” she wrote, joking about her new training method ahead of the clay.
Raducanu posed in a racing suit while also sporting a Porsche helmet – one of her sponsors – and shared a photo of a camera screen, hinting that she was filming something special. The former world No 10 has shared her love for F1 in the past and took up both go-karting and motocross alongside tennis as a child.
