What's the news?
Putting tennis ace Maria Sharapova, former F1 driver - and current Porsche GT racer - Mark Webber and a Porsche 918 together must have resulted in a pretty big insurance bill - but that's what happened in a recent PR stunt by the German manufacturer.
Following the Russian's rapid run through her Saturday semi-final at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, where she booked her place in the final with a 59-minute win over Italy's Sara Errani, she was invited to climb into the ultra-quick Porsche 918 for a spin around the city to celebrate, courtesy of Webber's skills at the wheel.
Webber had previously watched Maria's win over Errani, having been invited to the WTA tournament by Matthias Müller, the chairman of Porsche AG.
Anything else?
Shazza is a Porsche ambassador and earlier this year showed off her Panamera 'by Maria Sharapova' ahead of the Winter Olympics in her hometown of Sochi.
