Federer spends time with Hamilton & Russell at the Barcelona Formula One track

Tennis legend Roger Federer was in the Mercedes house on Saturday in Barcelona, the Swiss taking a high-octane break from the practice courts to indulge in his "need for speed" as he wrote on social media.

Federer spent the day immersed in the high-strung atmosphere of the Mercedes garage where he witnessed the best performance so far this season in qualifying for George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. Federer is currently working his way towards tennis but he explained in a recent interview that he does not like to share snippets of those workouts.

Instead, he shared a few photos from his time spent in Barcelona with the Mercedes team. It's unclear whether Federer will watch the race but since he's there it's safe to assume he just might.
