Did you ever wonder what F1 drivers do during their vacation? Here’s the inside scoop!
When F1 drivers go on vacation, they reveal an unexpected side of their lives off the track. Between paradise getaways and intimate family moments, these champions show their true selves. Here’s how the paddock’s elite recharge their batteries before the final showdown of the season.
Fernando Alonso, still an F1 driver even on vacation
Some find it hard to disconnect, and Fernando Alonso is no exception. Even on holiday, the Aston Martin Spaniard couldn’t resist some karting sessions. He proved once again that adrenaline fuels his life. At 42, he shows he doesn’t just live for Formula 1, but for racing in all its forms.
George Russell, captain of the seas and master of relaxation
Mercedes’ George Russell is living proof that F1 drivers can surprise us during their vacation. The Mercedes driver swapped his cockpit for the helm of a luxury yacht, enjoying the Spanish waters with Carmen Mundt and friends. His Instagram shots then reveal a relaxed racer savoring both luxury and freedom, far from the pressure of the circuits.
When champions return to their roots
Some drivers prefer simplicity, away from yachts and glamour. Nico Hulkenberg, for instance, chose to recharge with his family in Germany. Meanwhile, Valtteri Bottas hopped back on his bike, touring Finland with Tiffany Cromwell. These intimate moments reveal another side of the drivers, showing they still value life’s essentials despite a career driven by speed.
Obligations also catch up with the F1 drivers on vacation
For F1 drivers, holidays don’t always mean total rest. Pierre Gasly, for example, reminded fans that behind his paradise backdrops were actually promotional duties for Alpine. Even under the sun, these champions juggle between relaxation and brand commitments—turning every moment into an opportunity.
