It is a known fact that the retired Russian tennis superstar, Maria Sharapova, is tall. In fact, she is one of the tallest former players on the WTA circuit at 6’2″. And, whether on or off the court, her height has always astounded her admirers. It looks like it’s the same at present as well. She recently attended the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix in a dazzling outfit. But it was her height that became the talk of the town.

Other well-known figures, such as Tom Holland and a well-known South Korean celebrity, Wi Ha Joon, also attended the event. During the star-studded occasion, the crowd managed to observe the astounding height disparity between the five-time Grand Slam champion and the Spider-Man: Homecoming star.

Recently, the former world number one made her love for motorsports known by appearing at a major F1 event. She attended the Monaco Grand Prix and even presented Max Verstappen with the trophy for finishing P1 in qualifying. After attending the event, she took to her Instagram account to share some amazing pictures of the event.

In one of those pictures, the 36-year-old can be seen posing with the English actor. And there was one thing that grabbed a lot of attention: the astonishing height difference between the actor and the Russian tennis player. It grabbed a lot of attention among the fans, and it soon became a topic of discussion on social media.

But, the former tennis star stood out on the occasion not only because of her amazing height but also for her daring attire. But wait, there were other height-related concerns that attracted a lot of attention.

She subsequently shared a photo of herself handing the trophy to RedBull Racing driver and current World Champion, Max Verstappen. It showed how even one of the tallest F1 drivers is shorter than Sharapova!

Is Sharapova taller than all the 2023 F1 racers? 

The enormous height disparity between the two well-known sports figures was particularly noted by the audience. When the 36-year-old tennis great presented the F1 champion with the Pole Winners Award, Sharapova towered over him, thanks in part to her heeled footwear. The Russian tennis star towering over Verstappen has raised the intriguing topic of whether Sharapova is the tallest of all the current F1 racers.

The tallest people in the current F1 grid are Esteban Ocon and Alexander Albon, both of whom stand at a height of 186 cm. In comparison, the retired tennis legend is about 2 centimeters taller than both F1 drivers. This proves that Sharapova is, in fact, taller than all the drivers currently in the F1 grid.
