As the F1 season is under hibernation for the winter, Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, is not one to simply rest and relax during the off-season. Instead, he takes his thrill-seeking tendencies to new heights—literally. Hamilton recently collaborated with Monster Energy to bring fans an inside look at his daring skydiving adventures, proving that his passion for living on the edge extends beyond the racetrack.

Despite Monster Energy’s recent shift from Mercedes to McLaren in terms of F1 team partnerships, Hamilton’s alliance with the energy drink brand remains unscathed. The collaboration took an exhilarating turn as the British racing icon delved into one of his favorite pursuits—skydiving.

A recent post on Hamilton’s official Instagram handle showcased gripping footage of Hamilton engaging in a skydiving experience that left fans of the LH Army mind-blown. He shared the video with the caption “Frequent flyer.” For Hamilton, skydiving isn’t just a bold escapade; it serves as a vital source of rejuvenation, offering him the essential break needed for recharging.

Hamilton has often expressed his enthusiasm for skydiving and detailed his frequent airborne routine. The recent footage captures the Mercedes maestro flawlessly executing a series of rolls during the free fall, emphasizing the seamless integration of this adventurous pursuit into his life.

Despite being 38 years old, Hamilton’s love for skydiving is boundless. With over 80 skydives under his belt, he considers the adrenaline rush from leaping from heights exceeding 10,000 feet to be the ultimate source of excitement in life. The footage not only showcases Hamilton’s fearlessness but also his skill and precision in executing these daredevil maneuvers.

Mercedes, recognizing Hamilton’s dedication to these airborne adventures, grants him the unique permission to engage in frequent skydiving. This special allowance is grounded in two factors: Hamilton’s possession of a skydiving license acquired in 2019 and the support of Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. Wolff understands the importance of allowing Hamilton to partake in activities that provide him peace of mind, as long as they do not compromise his on-track performance.

Hamilton’s love for skydiving transcends the off-season, as evidenced by his impressive feat last year. At the age of 38, he undertook a remarkable 10 skydives in a single day, showcasing his commitment to pushing boundaries and seeking new challenges. In an Instagram post, he described the experience as an incredible way to spend a leisure day and a fantastic method to clear his mind before focusing on next year to challenge Max Verstappen after yet another winless season.
