Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton has seemingly been having an excellent winter break, with the Mercedes driver having been seen on holiday with several celebrity friends in Antarctica.
The 38-year-old, who is expected to sign a new contract before the season kicks-off in Bahrain, has been uploading videos onto social media of him running past seals and penguins on the freezing cold continent, with four of his friends.
Hamilton was with actor and musician Jared Leto, professional snowboarder Shaun White and his wife, Nina Dobrev, who is also an actress.
The Stevenage-born driver was also with another woman, believed to be Brazilian model Juliana Nalu, who previously dated musician Kanye West.

Whilst Hamilton hasn’t shown the model, she was seen in one of White’s social media posts, where she was sitting next to the 103-time Grand Prix winner in a hot tub.
Her own social media footage does suggest that she too was with the group, with many fans being quick to question if the two are dating or are just friends.
Hamilton has previously denied to being in a relationship with his car being his “baby”, with his absolute focus appearing to be on claiming an unprecedented eighth World Championship.
He’ll be hoping to be back amongst the title fight in the upcoming season, after slumping to sixth in the Drivers’ Championship last season.
As well as denying that he’s in a relationship, Hamilton has also explained what would have to happen for him to finally retire from Formula 1.
“I am not in a relationship, I don’t have kids, my car is my baby,” Hamilton previously told The Independent.

“If we’d have a year like last year and we were competing at the front all year, who knows where I would be?
“Each year you have to ask yourself if you’re willing to give as much if not more than you did when you first started. Are you willing to give up all your time to prepare and train and work with the team and deliver?
“If there’s ever a moment that I’m arriving and I’m just coasting along, then that’s when I don’t belong here, and don’t deserve the position here, and that’s when I should stop.”
