A race weekend can prove to be very hectic for F1 drivers. There’s a lot of media activities going around that can take sometimes take their focus away from the actual competition on the track. Not to forget their constant battles with jet lag, because of their traveling routines.
Their travel routines are particularly an interesting topic. Drivers are on the road for a large part of the year, now more than ever with a record 23-race F1 calendar. So, they need to make sure they carry all the items they need to make them feel comfortable.
Some drivers like Lewis Hamilton travel with their gaming consoles and music recording kits. Perez, on the other hand, is easygoing in that department. He is not superstitious and only carries the bare essentials with him.
