The Formula One drivers are currently enjoying their last weeks of holidays. Most of them have to be back on the grid in the second half of February for the unveiling of their new car. Lewis Hamilton has until 2 March. Time he seems to make good use of.

He has been spotted in a lightning-fast new sports car. And not just any sports car, but Porsche's first fully electric car, the Taycan Turbo S. A car that has 761 bhp and accelerates from 0 to 100 within 3 seconds.

That Hamilton has switched to electric driving is no surprise. The world champion has long been calling for a more environmentally conscious lifestyle and has recently invested in the new Extreme E Championship. To be able to do his shopping in this Taycan, Hamilton did fly to the other side of the world. These photos were shot in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

The pictures show that Hamilton is not only very conscious of the environment, but that he also takes the threat of the coronavirus very seriously. He wears a face mask both inside and outside the car.
