Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were handed an unusual lesson in Baku ahead of this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, surrounding the game of chess.
The Ferrari duo are both avid chess players and took part in an activation with Azerbaijani chess Grandmaster Teimour Radjabov.
Radjabov initially watched on and offered advice as Hamilton and Leclerc played against each other, before they paired up to take on the Grandmaster.
The activation demonstrated the mental intensity of both motorsport and chess, highlighting the similarities between the two very different activities.
Ferrari posted a video of the event on social media, which you can find below!
