Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and the two drivers – Lewis Hamilton and George Russell gave us a sneak peek into what they like doing during the off-season. The video clip was shared by Mercedes F1 team’s official handle on Twitter. Hamilton, Russell and Wolff were at their candid best during the interaction.
Russell and Hamilton explained how much they are looking forward to meeting friends and family after such a long season, travelling to different races. Wolff stated that he will look to make the most of this leisure time and go on vacations and skiing with family, catch up with friends and also spend more time at the gym. Meanwhile, Hamilton also plans to watch less television and read more books that have been recommended to him.
Lewis Hamilton appears to be having a blast during off-season
Lewis Hamilton has wasted no time to start his off-season with a bang. He is to be making the most of his free time. In a recent video posted by the Mercedes star on his Instagram handle, Hamilton can be seen enjoying driving a luxurious R34 GTR on the streets of Japan. Hamilton himself shared the clip on his profile with the caption: “I only like to drive on track, but I make exceptions.”
Hamilton’s love for luxury racing cars is no secret. In the video, Hamilton can be seen enjoying a swift drive on the Shuto Expressway of Japan while performing some skillful eye-catching stunts. The 57-second video starts with him rubbing his hands together and smiling, before engaging in the kind of driving that looks straight out of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. At one point, Hamilton can be heard saying: “Something’s not right with this car, man”, as smoke was pouring into the cabin through the transmission tunnel. However, it wasn’t much of an issue and was quite a hassle-free ride.
