Behind the helmets that exceed 300 kilometers per hour, F1 drivers hide passions that have little to do with motorsport. While some obsess over cycling or soccer, others lean toward music, video games or even gastronomy. Bottas and his passion for gravel The Cadillac driver found a second obsession in gravel cycling. He discovered it as a complement to his training, and it ended up becoming a true passion for him. He has achieved several podiums in competitions like SBT Gravel and the Belgium Waffle Ride and even finished among the top finishers at the 2024 Gravel World Championship. "When I'm not in the car, I like to challenge myself on the bike. The feeling of competition is very similar," the driver confessed. Charles Leclerc and the piano Far from the noise of the engines, the Monegasque Ferrari driver finds peace in the keys of a piano as his second passion. Leclerc studied music as a child and never abandoned the habit. On several occasions, he has shared videos on social media playing classical pieces or versions of popular songs, showing a completely different side to the one known as a driver. Lando Norris and video games and racing simulators The McLaren driver turned video games into more than a hobby. Norris is passionate about sim racing, spending hours on platforms like iRacing when he's at home. He doesn't take it just as recreation but as a vital part of his training. "When you're in a game, there's no risk, but you gain skills that you can later transfer to the real car," he explained. Fernando Alonso and road cycling The two-time Spanish champion is obsessed with cycling, he not only trains on the bike to stay fit but has also participated in endurance cycling events and follows major competitions
