BMW has a new face in Romania and it's tennis superstar Simona Halep who is a passionate car enthusiast and driver.
The 2019 Wimbledon champion on Friday received an electric model worth 100,000 euros according to sport.ro and immediately got behind the wheel. She is the second sporting star in Romania to represent the German popular luxury brand after football legend Gheorghe Hagi.
On the occasion, Halep said:
“I am really happy to follow my idol Gheorghe Hagi. I’m passionate about cars and I love driving."
She also added that she drives the way she plays tennis which would kind of make her a bit of an aggressive and careless driver. Hopefully not. Halep, 30, has won 23 WTA singles and two Grand Slam titles, the French Open in 2018 and Wimbledon in 2019 when she defeated Serena Williams in two sets.
