Ferrari has had a busy past few days. Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, made his first appearance as a Ferrari driver at Maranello, where he met with team personnel and familiarized himself with the facilities.

Following this, Hamilton took to the Fiorano track on Wednesday, piloting the SF-23 in his inaugural test session with the team. Lastly, the Briton and his new teammate, Charles Leclerc, also unveiled Ferrari's race suits for the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Currently, both drivers are in Barcelona, engaging in a three-day private test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to further prepare for the upcoming season.

George Russell is combining back-to-work time with some fun and nice places. He shared a few photos on his Instagram, capturing him working out "in the jungle".

Yuki Tsunoda, on the other hand, is still having fun. On the weekend, he enjoyed some snow in Kitzbuhel in Austria at a snowboarding event alongside well-known former F1 driver Sebastian Vettel.

Oscar Piastri got to spend a bit more time in his home country. With his girlfriend he attended the famous Australian Open, enjoying some good tennis.

Esteban Ocon, gearing up for a fresh start with a new team in 2025, took some time to enjoy his home country as well. While in Paris, he stopped by a basketball game, soaking up the atmosphere and sharing a glimpse of the moment with his fans on Instagram.

Alex Albon shared a lighthearted photo with his new teammate Carlos Sainz on X. The snapshot captures the two drivers in a relaxed setting, sitting side by side in what appears to be a private vehicle. Adding to the fun, Albon captioned the post "Thai Sweet Chilli", a cheeky nod to his Thai heritage and Sainz's "Chilli" nickname.
