No races mean no on-track action: not for fans, and not for drivers either. But what does a weekend without F1 look like? For some, it's the perfect time to unwind: think luxury yachts, parties, or tropical getaways. Others use the downtime to stay sharp, hitting the gym or training behind the scenes. Whether it's rest or reps, here's how some of the F1 family are spending a rare weekend off the grid.
Kelly Piquet is soaking up the sun during the break, while Max Verstappen is likely either diving into a sim race or unwinding aboard his brand-new yacht, though its location remains a mystery. Formula 1 drivers and their inner circles are making the most of the downtime, each in their own way.
See below what some drivers and their partners are doing over a short break before the Belgian Grand Prix next weekend.
