I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
Lewis Hamilton is enjoying his summer break far away from the race track. The seven-time world champion has instead been exploring Africa for the second summer break in a row. According to his Instagram, the trip has made the 105-time Grand Prix winner feel more 'at peace' and 're centred' before the second half of the season begins. Hamilton has once again updated fans about his trip, as he most recently visited Senegal, a country that he 'can't recommend enough.'
Hamilton explains that he visited Goree Island, which was one of, if not the largest slave trading site on the African coast. He described the visit as 'heavy', but 'important' to 'honour the people we come from.' The Brit is sure to continue sharing snaps of his travels around the continent before the season restarts in the Netherlands next week, and you can see his snaps from Senegal below.
