When Webber met Shazza

Former F1 ace drives tennis star around in a Porsche 918.


He's had team-mates of varying quality in the past, but former F1 star and current Porsche works racer Mark Webber must have been pretty pleased with his latest co-driver - tennis ace Maria Sharapova.

Following the Russian's rapid run through her Saturday semi-final at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, where she booked her place in the final with a 59-minute win over Italy's Sara Errani, she was invited to climb into the ultra-quick Porsche 918 for a spin around the city to celebrate, courtesy of Webber's skills at the wheel.

Webber had previously watched Maria's win over Errani, having been invited to the WTA tournament by Matthias Müller, the chairman of Porsche AG.

Anything else?
Shazza is a Porsche ambassador and earlier this year showed off her Panamera 'by Maria Sharapova' ahead of the Winter Olympics in her hometown of Sochi.
