What F1 drivers have been up to before the Miami GP

As Formula 1 prepares for the Miami Grand Prix, drivers have spent the April break balancing intense training with unique personal experiences. From Franco Colapinto drawing 600,000 fans to his Buenos Aires show run in Juan Manuel Fangio's historic Mercedes W196, to Max Verstappen, McLaren, and Mercedes drivers conducting tyre testing at the Nurburgring, the competitive spirit remains high. Fernando Alonso has been busy testing the Aston Martin Valkyrie, while others like Valtteri Bottas impressed in a 60-mile gravel race in California. Off the track, drivers have been recharging across the globe. Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo were spotted at Coachella, while Alex Albon enjoyed a relaxed Los Angeles trip. George Russell returned to his karting roots in Italy, and Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli focused on personal development and local events. With stars like Sebastian Vettel running the London Marathon and Haas drivers Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon hosting fan events in London, the drivers are now fully focused on the upcoming race in Miami.
