Italy’s First Wimbledon Champion Jannik Sinner Grateful for No Formula 1 Race During Wimbledon Final Weekend!

Jannik Sinner's hilarious shout out to his brother during the Wimbledon finals.

Jannik Sinner is the 2025 Wimbledon Mens champion. The 23-year-old is creating history after bringing in top performances in every championship. Sinner defeated Alcaraz in the Wimbledon Grand Finals to earn his redemption from the French Open. The Italian prodigy narrowly lost out the French Open final to Carlos Alcaraz.

Jannik Sinner’s family was there with him to witness his victory at the Wimbledon championship this year. Although, Sinner was extra grateful to his brother. Jannik Sinner gave cheeky shout out to his brother post-match, pointing out his brother’s love for Formula 1 racing. Many Formula 1 drivers like Sebastian Vettel, George Russell were present during the Wimbledon 2025 Finals this year. It was partly due to the fact that Formula 1 had wrapped up the British Grand Prix at Silverstone only a week prior to the finals.

Jannik Sinner Takes a Humorous Dig at His Brother’s Love For Formula 1

Jannik Sinner is among the popular personalities in Formula 1 racing. Sinner is among the ambassadors of Formula 1 and openly shows love for the sport. He is also the favourite player for Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 team and many others in the paddock.

After winning the Wimbledon 2025 Championship, Sinner took to the media to talk about his brother.

“There’s no F1 race this weekend, that’s why he’s here.”

The Italian champion has openly discussed his brother absence during some of his matches due to Formula 1 races being hosted that weekend. It was a friendly banter between the two brothers. Something similar happened during the Italian Open championship in 2025. The matches coincidentally fell on the same weekend as the Imola Grand Prix.

Jannik Sinner was quick to point out his brother’s absence during the match due to the ongoing Imola GP. It seems that Formula 1 and its influence runs deep in the sinner family. The first Italian to win the Wimbledon championship may have to lend his brother’s audience to F1 many more times.
