Alexander Zverev recently posted a throwback to his F1 racer introduction on Nettlfix’s Break Point, joking about his prediction of Lewis Hamilton’s departure from Mercedes coming true.
Zverev has made an incredible start to his 2024 season. The 26-year-old helped Germany lift the United Cup. He continued this form at the Australian Open as he made his second semifinal appearance at the Happy Slam defeating the likes of Cameron Norrie and Carlos Alcaraz en route to the last four. He fell to long-time rival Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals.
The German was featured in the fourth episode (‘Unfinished Business’) of the second season of Netflix’s hit docu-drama series Break Point. For his introduction, Zverev jokingly introduced himself as the reserve driver for Mercedes’ Formula 1 team. He further stated that he’ll be replacing Mercedes’ star driver Lewis Hamilton next year onwards.
“I’m Alexander Zverev, I’m the reserved driver for Mercedes and from next year on I’ll replace Lewis Hamilton.”
The Olympic gold medalist’s prediction came true as it was recently announced that Lewis Hamilton would be switching from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 F1 season. This news has sent shockwaves through the F1 fraternity.
Zverev, who is a huge F1 fan, quickly took to Instagram to react to this news and poked fun at the situation by tagging Mercedes and claiming that he was ready to start for them.
