Verstappen joins F1 rivals in off-track doubles game ahead of Italian Grand Prix

A group of F1 drivers who are good friends have taken time out from preparing for the Italian Grand Prix to exercise their competitive spirit on the padel court.

George Russell, Lando Norris, Alex Albon and Max Verstappen played two-on-two in Monte Carlo this week, sharing photos on social media of the showdown.

Although it has not been established who won, the group were all smiles after blowing off steam on the court.

Williams driver Albon jokingly called the afternoon ‘MonteCarlo Padel Masters’ in a post on Instagram, sharing photographs of he and Russell shaking hands with their competitors after a match ended.

Russell, meanwhile, shared similar photos of the group enjoying the match on his Instagram story, with the caption: “Warming up for Monza.”
