Going into the Formula One summer break, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was starting to feel pressure not just from his teammate, but also from Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. The champ clearly needed to have some fun.
So, what do you do when you’ve got all the means at your disposal and you need to take your mind off racing and just relax with your entourage?
Lewis started things off in Colorado riding ATVs, before moving on to a lake side location and goofing around, catching a football and diving in the water – which was actually a pretty cool slow motion shot. Nice catch!
It was also cool to see him stay in shape by doing some pull ups and working on his core strength. We’ll let the fact that the radio was playing ‘See You Again – Wiz Khalifa’ slide. You can hardly get rid of that song nowadays.
Next stop for Lewis was Barbados, home of everyone’s favorite R&B singer and the place where the Mercedes driver spent some time pool-side and at the beach playing with his dog Coco and then attended a carnival.
It’s worth mentioning the Stand-Up Paddle board because it’s a very cool thing to have on you whenever you find a nice, clear body of water. Speaking of water, jumping off the back of a speedboat sounds pretty cool too, I suppose.
Further on, we get to see him do a “Scooter burnout” which isn’t nearly as cool as it should be, but it can be fun when you’re bored.
Lastly, we saw Lewis checking out the NYC club scene, which is always a popular destination for celebrities and pro athletes in particular.
