Glory in the world of tennis can be measured through various metrics. Along with the rankings and titles, collaborations are a part of it. 2024 Australian Open quarter-finalist Hubert Hurkacz has been living the life of his dreams as he is famously known to be a part of the globally renowned motor giant McLaren.

It is always hard for the fans to take their eyes off when Hurkacz cruises in class with his amazing McLaren rides. But what inspired him to seek such a furious collaboration?

Hubert Hurkacz turned his childhood passion for cars into an amazing partnership with McLaren. Recalling his love for four wheels during his early years, Hurkacz revealed, “It was not easy to get another [car], because I had plenty of those. From my childhood, I have been passionate about cars.”

He shared how as a kid, he would always be eager to ask his mom for toy cars, one model after another. Reconnecting the dots between his hobby of collecting toy cars as a kid to growing up with a liking of bigger vehicles, he admitted, “I love cars; if I saw one on the street, I was always trying to look at it, find data about the cars.”

This childhood love for glossy race cars eventually led him to be part of one of the biggest motor manufacturing brands. However, besides just endorsing the vehicles that pack heavy engines, the tennis star also holds a deep admiration for every detail of these vehicles.

Three years ago, Hubert Hurkacz shared his affinity for McLaren cars, extending his partnership way beyond just a business deal. “Having a chance to see one of the cars is special, but even to drive it is a great privilege,” Hurkacz shared.
