As Formula 1 is in the off-season, drivers are engaging in different activities to keep themselves entertained and fit. While some are utilizing the time for a vacation, others are getting themselves into adventure activities. Getting the best of both worlds is Charles Leclerc who is skiing and climbing mountains under heavy snow in the Italian Alps. As the Monegasque recently put out a vlog of his winter training regime, fans hailed his videographer and editor.

Before he gets started with the brand new season with a car that has already created a lot of buzz, Leclerc went on a mountaineering expedition and had close friends Antonio Fuoco (Ferrari development driver) and Andrea Ferrari (personal trainer) accompanying him. The 2022 runner-up also gave an insight into his gym sessions and pre-season medical tests. Charles revealed that mountaineering in northern Italy is something he does every year.
