Iga Swiatek has been on a roll this season. At just 21, the Polish tennis star has reached the top of the WTA rankings and is putting on some eye-catching performances across tournaments. Moreover, she has already won six titles this year, including the French Open.

However, she had a disappointing campaign at the recently concluded Wimbledon Championships. Swiatek lost in the third round of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament against Alize Cornet. Her 37-match unbeaten run was finally broken by the Frenchwoman, who caused the upset of the tournament. Following this disappointment, the Polish star had a much-needed break from tennis.

She had a wonderful time with several of the constructors and even posed for photographs with them. Additionally, she got to meet Mercedes chief Toto Wolff, and the Haas F1 team principal, Günther Steiner.

Further, Swiatek was also spotted holding Alpine driver Fernando Alonso’s helmet and standing alongside one of the Ferraris on the grid. Talking about her time in Austria, Swiatek said, “Exciting, eventful, memorable and fast (literally) F1 weekend in Austria!”
