Hamilton performs tricks on jet ski as F1 champ goes on yacht break with Rosberg
Lewis Hamilton was spotted performing tricks on a jet ski while aboard a luxury yacht with former Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg on Wednesday.
Hamilton, who finished seventh in last Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, could be seen whizzing around the ocean in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, during an outing with Rosberg and his family.
The reigning F1 world champion showed off his skills on a different vehicle for a change by catching the waves in the watercraft, while also trying out a flyboard on his day off from racing.
Rosberg, meanwhile, opted for a slightly more reserved jet-ski approach while riding with his five-year-old daughter.
Hamilton could only produce a seventh-place finish in Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen taking the championship lead from him after dominating the race throughout.
The Brit rued Mercedes' pit-stop strategy after the setback, which backfired early on when it lost them track position on a street circuit where overtaking is extremely difficult.
"Three places it cost me," he told Sky Sports F1.
"I don't really have a reaction to it, I think we do all our talking in the background and we'll work together and try to come out of this stronger.
"We underperformed as a team all weekend, from the get go, so we'll just put our focus on the next race.
"Congratulations to Max and his team, they did a great job."
Hamilton will look to regain the championship lead at the next race around the Baku Street Circuit in Azerbaijan on June 6, a stop on the F1 calendar which couldn't be held last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
