The racing engines have been stopped for more than a week and the bases of the Formula 1 teams are closed – the summer break in the championship is in full swing, everyone is resting and gaining strength for the second part of the season, which will be very compact – ten Grand Prix will be held in three months.
But this is still ahead and now we should enjoy a well deserved opportunity to relax for at least a while and disconnect from the busy everyday life in the paddock.
For example, the way Lewis Hamilton did, when he shared a glorious photo taken somewhere in the warm sea. More precisely, practically in their depths. He accompanied the list with a short but quite logical caption, which could be interpreted as “I left the office” or simply “Break at work”.
Long-time London resident George Russell and his Spanish girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt also spend time in the south – judging by the landscapes, on the Mediterranean or somewhere nearby.
At the same time, of course, both Mercedes drivers sincerely sympathize with Toto Wolff, their leader, who once again failed to save himself in mountain biking, and we talked about that. Let’s hope he recovers quickly.
Alpine racer Pierre Gasly went to her homeland with his girlfriend, the Portuguese model Francisco “Kikoy” Gomes, but not only had fun with friends in the Algarve, but combined business with pleasure – he trains on simulators and plays golf.
Valtteri Bottas, as always, does not get off his bike, not even on vacation – together with Tiffany Cromfell, he has been going to America for several years in a row in the summer, where he is going to participate in a cycling race in Colorado . By the way, before that he had already managed to give a presentation of his Oath gin on board the ferry between Helsinki and Tallinn.
But his traditional duathlon in Finland this year will not be there, although Valtteri announced his dates in the fall. But then organizational problems arose and the competition had to be cancelled. However, Bottas promised that the duathlon would definitely take place in the summer of 2024.
Guanyu Zhou, Finn’s Alfa Romeo teammate, missed his home country and flew from Europe to China, from where he shared a photo overlooking Shanghai.
Little is known about how Max Verstappen spends his vacation in August, but a week ago the reigning world champion published a photo taken in the company of Lando Norris and popular Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix. He commented as follows: “The start of the summer holidays was just great! Thank you Martijn Garrix!”
In general, it is clear that the beginning of the holidays were fun – they certainly remain boring!
