Drivers are spending their well-deserved summer break in Formula One. Oscar Piastri has been one of the drivers so far involved with the Olympic Games in Paris, and he has visited the French capital.

The one-time Grand Prix winner was in the host city of the Olympics, McLaren posted on their X (formerly known as Twitter). The Australian previously had to 'confirm' he is not participating on social media, after fans fans found his lookalike in the Dutch gymnastics team.

Will Hamilton make an appearance?

The seven-time world champion has previously said that he will visit the Olympics this year during his break, so as to support his friend, Miles Chamley-Watson. The American will compete today in fencing, so it is the British driver's last chance to make an appearance at the Grand Palais venue. Since then, the seven-time world champion was seen in the stands.
