Permanently in the spotlight of the stage throughout the entire Formula 1 season, the men who drive the new flying machines, aka, the F1 single-seaters, seek to take a little shelter and make life more normal during the holiday period. We, however, were unable to remain quiet and, after a thorough investigation (a lie!…), we have already found out where they are!
After more than half a year behind their backs, on constant travels, including between continents, F1 drivers take advantage of the well-deserved vacation period to forget a little about the stressful profession of driving a speed car and devote themselves to hobbies or more relaxing activities, as is the case, for example, with the Red Bull Racing duo, Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, who, in addition to the stock of energy drinks provided by the sponsor, left nothing behind, in order to have a good vacation. past!
F1 champion continues to accelerate…
The same happens, moreover, with three-time champion Lewis Hamilton, of the Mercedes-AMG F1 Team, who, clearly more addicted to adrenaline, reveals, through one of his official pages on social networks, that he doesn't just take naps next to his. Rosco dog, thinks to enjoy the so-called "big vacation". On the contrary, guaranteed are also tours, over hills and valleys, at the wheel of his Can-Am Maverick X3, which he “affectionately” calls “The Beast”.His new partner, the Finnish Valeri Bottas, announces, on the contrary, a much more restful vacation, namely, enjoying the peace transmitted by a blue sky and crystal clear water of his Finland.
Meanwhile, and at another latitude, the Swiss-French Haas F1 Team driver, Romain Grosjean, also seems to opt for quiet evenings. In his case, with a glass in his hand and beside friends, enjoying the sunset on the French island of Corsica.
Stroll and the inevitable golf
Also in "relax" mode appears to be Canadian Lance Stroll, Williams driver who became, this past season, the youngest rookie to achieve a podium in F1 history, finishing third in the Azerbaijani Grand Prix. However, while new opportunities for victory (in the F1 World Cup, of course…) are not enough, the young 18-year-old driver is looking for success, but in golf!
Also enjoying the sun and, in this case, the sea, appears to be the young French driver Esteban Ocon, from Force India, who, after a second season in F1, is now looking to regain strength, but in Spain, with a group of friends . Perhaps, dreaming of higher flights for 2018.
In Africa to forget 2017
The one who certainly hopes for better luck in 2018 is undoubtedly the Briton Jolyon Palmer, from the Renault F1 Team. Son of ex-driver Jonathan Palmer, Jolyon chose to travel to the southern hemisphere and, in particular, to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, certainly also with the intention of forgetting a 2017 season that was not exactly achieved. Maybe 2018 will be better, Jolyon!Finally, and talking about veterans, Brazilian Felipe Massa, who last season ran for Williams, and who, despite being on vacation, does not neglect to be in good physical condition. Not without even running around with his younger brother, Fernando. It's just that, it doesn't take long, and the new season is already here, isn't it, Felipe?…
World Cup returns to March 25, 2018
Finally, just remember that, although the “stars” are still on vacation, the next Formula 1 World Championship is approaching by leaps and bounds and even has a defined start date.
More precisely, on March 25, 2018, with the completion of the Australian Grand Prix, in Melbourne. And the first of a set of 21 races that will only come to an end on the 25th of November.
However, here we are eagerly waiting!…
