Maria Sharapova may have retired from playing professional tennis in 2020, but she hasn’t disappeared from the public eye. The fashionista, who owns her own clothing line and candy company, is also an investor in many beauty and cosmetic brands. Currently, MaSha is having the time of her life watching F1 cars zoom by in Miami with her fiance, Alexander Gilkes. And at the Hard Rock Stadium, she got to meet the F1 royalty.

The qualifying turned out to be a disastrous outing for Lewis Hamilton. The Briton only managed to finish P13 after struggling with the car during the practice sessions as well. Sharapova was, however, there to cheer for Hamilton and while he did not have a good day, she definitely did.

The Miami GP, since its inaugural edition last year, has been one of the most star-studded events in the F1 calendar. Top athletes and A-list celebrities are all flocking to the circuit, hanging out with F1 drivers. Earlier, Vin Diesel and his Fast and the Furious co-star Michelle Rodriguez visited the McLaren garage. Later, it was NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s turn to make his way to the Alpine garage, hanging out with Pierre Gasly.

The latest to join the list was Sharapova, who too got access to the garages. And what better one to choose than Lewis Hamilton himself? The tennis beauty posed with the front wing of the car, which is part of the car important for downforce and balance of the front of the car. As per racing-nerds.com, it can cost as high as $150,000. She flaunted the photo through an Instagram Story. MaSha also posted a video of Hamilton rolling out of the garage to take to the track.

In the final Story for the day, she posted a video of her fiance filming the action on his phone. She pulled his leg with the caption that read, “Can’t wait to see your content @Gilkesa [laughing emoji]”.

Lewis Hamilton’s race turns out to be a bummer for Sharapova

Sharapova was clearly out there to cheer for her favorite driver, Lewis Hamilton. However, the Briton, owing to a blunder from his team, came out way too late for a final flying lap of the Q3 session. Resultantly, he failed to make it to Q3, and that put a big dent in his prospects of bouncing back after a disappointing outing in Baku.

Hamilton struggled a bit in the beginning but picked up pace as the race progressed. Mercedes‘ strategy did not do him any good either, but the Briton made the most of the situation to finish P6.
