It hasn’t been an easy F1 season for Lewis Hamilton, and he’s clearly spending his brief break taking his mind off the sport
Lewis Hamilton is enjoying his two weeks off from F1 by spending time on a yacht with some fellow celebrities. The seven-time champion was all smiles as he enjoyed some downtime on the Spanish island of Ibiza
The 38-year-old wore a maroon tracksuit as he entered the yacht alongside tennis star Jenny Stray Spetalen, Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, and film director Baz Luhrmann and his wife Catherine Martin. He then changed into his blue swimwear and took to a flyboard, and was photographed hovering over the waves with a friend who was on board a jet ski.
Hamilton spending time with Spetalen and Gonzalez comes days after he was spotted partying with pop star Shakira after the British Grand Prix. This came after the pair met up at the Spanish and Miami Grand Prix events, which fueled dating rumors.
But, it seems that may be put to rest following his vacation alongside Spetalen and Gonzalez. Hamilton has long been a fan of spending time in the ocean, which he elaborated on in a GQ interview.
I would say I swim a lot more than I surf,” he said. “I’m so competitive, so I paddle for pretty much every wave. I could be out there for hours and I might miss 100 waves but I get five good waves in the day.
“What I really love about it is you don’t have your phone with you, it’s time on your own. You have time to think and just let the waves continue to go and appreciate just how powerful mother nature is. I also feel the ocean is very cleansing and I just like getting rid of negative energy.”
Hamilton’s last F1 result was a positive one, as he finished third at the British Grand Prix in front of his home fans. He finished behind fellow British driver Lando Narros and winner Max Verstappen, who claimed his sixth consecutive victory.
