Lewis Hamilton won the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil on Sunday and needs to take some time to chill. He does that by being his adventurous self and “focusing on the water” on an electric Lift surfboard.
We already know that Lewis Hamilton is in a different league compared to the rest of the Formula 1 drivers, as Lando Norris said, jokingly suggesting that the Brit should drive a three-wheel car just to make things a bit harder for him. Lewis proved he doesn't need much to win, time and time again, with the latest proof of fabulous skill in Sao Paulo on Sunday.

Starting in P10, after being disqualified for the sprint race and receiving a 5-place grid penalty, he finished more than 10 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen and reduced the gap between him and the Dutch in the race for another World Championship title.

So, taking all of this into account, would you expect the British racing driver to just casually chill on the couch watching Netflix all day in his days off? Not really, and he doesn’t. Whether it’s riding motorcycles, driving hypercars, or jogging, Lewis Hamilton never seems to stay still.

In a recent post on Instagram, the almost-all-time record-breaking champion talks about the importance of days off, while he’s on the water, enjoying himself on an electric Lift surfboard. He wrote: “Days off are often as important as the days on.”

The board is perfect for water adventures and it’s great for both beginners and advanced surfers as per its manufacturer's description. It reaches a top speed of 22 knots (25 mph/ 40 kph). However, the all-electric board is not that cheap, coming with an average price of $12,000.

The price is not a problem for Lewis Hamilton, though, because he has a net worth of $285 million and a $50 million salary per year. And, when it comes to different adventures, the British racing driver doesn’t mind dropping a penny or two.

And, since he’s talking about “resetting and focusing on the water,” the board proves to be exactly what he needs: some chilling before returning to the racetrack. He has three more races to beat Max Verstappen and to secure himself a new world record for the most World Drivers’ Championships, currently tying with Michael Schumacher at seven titles each.
