The summer break in Formula 1 has begun – teams are required to close their facilities for two weeks, and employees are not allowed to work. Each team independently chooses a 14-day period for facility closure – most will go on vacation at the end of this week.
However, the drivers follow their own schedules. For example, Charles Leclerc is working today at Pirelli tire tests, while George Russell has already posted holiday photos.
Mercedes driver is relaxing on a yacht off the coast of Italy with his girlfriend Carmen Munter Munt. Today, George shared several photos on social media and briefly bid farewell to fans.
"I’m stepping away from social media," George captioned the photos. "Goodbye for now."
