After enduring a rare tough start to the Formula 1 season this year, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton spent some time away from the sport and went skydiving. Hamilton, who thinks that the "ideal way to spend a Sunday" is to skydive from thousands of feet above the ground, jumped "ten times in Dubai". The video of him skydiving from an aircraft was shared by him on his Instagram stories. During the jump, Hamilton seemed quite upbeat and even did some tricks during his free-fall.

In the two completed races of the F1 season so far, Hamilton has finished third and 10th in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

The 2022 F1 season started in roller-coaster fashion, continuing from its dramatic end to the last season, which saw Red Bull's Max Verstappen pip Hamilton for the world title on the last lap of the last race.
