Sadly, this is a limitation on Flutter's side. It uses the Roboto font by default (which is often used on Android devices), not the system's font.

Related: flutter/flutter#48381.

That's a shame, I don't know much about Flutter, it can't detect what font the system is using nor the type of fonts that the phone has in storage?

Maybe you can add a list of fonts to customize instead?

After looking around a bit, maybe you can add old fonts that F1 used to use for their TV graphics like:
Benton Sans 2015-2017
DIN 1451 from 2010-2014
Frutiger 55 from 2004-2009
Futura from 1994-2003

Could be potential idea for themes too if you want to

I did some research and found a workaround to add it but it is not very convenient and it needs a lot of work to implement it.

I don't think this is a needed feature right now given the amount of time required to add it, and now I plan to add more widgets of the articles and improve the hall of fame.
Maybe I could add some retro themes with the old fonts, I will think about it...
Also, where did you find these fonts?
