Amid the ongo🌞ing coronavirus pandemic which has caused widespread disruption to the world of sport and the 2020 Fꦅormula 1 World Championship, we take a look at what the drivers have been up to.

The 20 drivers have 🐻unexpectedly found themselves with some extra tiꩲme on their hands after the opening four rounds of the 2020 F1 season in Australia, Bahrain, China and Vietnam were called off.

With the campaign now set to begin at the end of May at the very earliest, F1’s stars have face a minimum two-month period with no raci🐟ng.

Here’s how they have been spending t🉐heir time so far…

Hamilton takes to the waves

Following the cancelation of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton opted to stay out in Melbourne for an extended spell an♋d got in some sporting activities in the process.

Instead of qualifying on Saturday, Hamilton wen♕t i♏ndoor rock climbing before catching the waves at one of Australia’s surf parks.

for letting me spend my evenings practicing my surf and to for providing the wetsuits. It was a lot of fun catching waves with you
Until next time Melbourne.

Coronavirus can make people nervous, but I want to reassure you all to stay calm. Don’t forget that handwashing is the most important thing you can do𒐪 to protect yourself and others. For official NHS advice visit:

Verstappen and Norris race in Esports

Despite the Australian Grand Prix being cancelled, Max Verstappen and Lando Norris made sure they we❀re st⭕ill racing on Sunday, albeit in the virtual world as they took part in an Esports race online.

A mix of professional gamers and real-worl♓d racing drivers from the likes of F💖1 and IndyCar, with the American single-seater series’ calendar also ravaged by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Verstappen finished 11th in an ‘All-star Esports battle’, while Norris claimed sixth place in the ‘Not the Aus GP’ race organised by Veloce Esports and streamed live across Twitter andꦑ YouTube.
