How do Norris and Piastri divide summer break? 'Wake up, stay in bed'

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have so far scored highly in the first 12 races of the Formula 1 season. Like all other drivers, they are celebrating the summer break. But what will the McLaren drivers actually do in this kind of week where there are no Grands Prix? They explain themselves.

"It is very important for me and for everyone in the team to take this time off. The schedule is very busy, so it is important to have a few weeks away with friends and family so you can forget about Formula 1 for a while. Then you can come back even more focused for the second half of the year," Norris said in a message from McLaren.

Piastri hasn't really made any huge plans yet: "We don't have a long time, so it will be somewhere near the UK, since I live there," said the Australian. "Probably somewhere in Europe. Hopefully somewhere warm and by the ocean - that narrows it down considerably. I'll plan something in the next few days," he continues.

In addition, Norris is tremendous about his upcoming schedule. "Wake up, stay in bed, get up whenever you want and have a nice lunch somewhere. Have no obligations and do what feels right," said the English driver.
