From golf to film premieres: how F1 drivers spent the summer break

The Formula 1 summer break has not slowed down the sport's leading names: between golf courses, red carpets and off-track commitments, drivers filled their days with activities far removed from the cockpit. Some used the downtime to recharge, others showed up at movie premieres, while a few kept active with two-wheel outings.

For fans in Italy, who track every detail from the paddock, these weeks reveal a lighter side of the championship. But the return is close: once the break ends, the race weekends will be back, along with the fight for points, podiums and the title.
