[Saba Sports News] In April 2026, the F1 Middle Eastern Grand Prix was temporarily cancelled due to unforeseen reasons. All F1 drivers unexpectedly got a two-week break and collectively kicked off their global vacation mode. They took the chance to relax and recharge ahead of the upcoming Miami Grand Prix. The drivers’ holiday updates were widely shared across social media, sparking spontaneous themed coverage. Their off-track lifestyle quickly became a hot topic among Formula 1 fans.Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo attended the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the United States, showing off their cowboy-style looks and interacting with each other. Alexander Albon visited Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and enjoyed a leisurely time at local wineries. Lewis Hamilton embarked on a cross-continental trip across three continents: vacationing on a yacht in Turkey, visiting Olympic venues in France, and horse riding in Jiuzhaigou, China. Max Verstappen headed back to Brazil to reunite with family and friends. Zhou Guanyu returned to Shanghai to stay with his family and shared warm daily moments on social media. Charles Leclerc travelled to Dubai with his pet dog, while Lando Norris went skiing in Courchevel, France.
In my opinion, divided by regions, European drivers tend to choose Mediterranean resorts for their holidays, American drivers mostly return to their hometowns, and Asian drivers prefer exploring new destinations. Such travel choices are closely linked to their respective cultural backgrounds.
