Leclerc opts for extreme preparation ahead of 2023 F1 season

With pre-season testing just over a month away in Bahrain, the F1 drivers have started their training again, with Charles Leclerc opting for extreme sports.

After the drivers settled down over the winter shutdown, many are now getting back into their training ahead of what will be the longest season in Formula 1 history. While some drivers, including George Russell, have reported back to their teams at their factory, others have done some more extreme forms of preparation. Charles Leclerc went to the Italian Alps along with trainer Andrea Ferrari for an extreme sport course, including rock climbing and cross-country skiing. Lewis Hamilton also went to Antarctica for some training in the snow, coming across penguins on his run earlier this week. Check out the posts from drivers below.
