DThe winter break is also the ideal time for F1 drivers to try something different. Lewis Hamilton swapped four wheels and slicks for two wheels and studs for a change!

Liam Lawson. had a tumultuous 2025 which saw him demoted mid-season from Max Verstappen's teammate at Red Bull Racing to a seat at Racing Bulls.

 

The likeable New Zealander is ready to go full throttle again in 2026. During the winter break, Lawson was spotted at home on a Surron and a GasGas MC 250F provided to him by GasGas New Zealand and CML Racing. Aussie SX legend Chad Reed at least saw that it was good and complimented the Kiwi with a sincere “Now we're talking!”

Also from seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton we know that he is a big motorcycle enthusiast. The Scuderia Ferrari star was recently spotted posing at a 2024 KTM XC-F 250It's probably no coincidence that Hamilton chose a KTM, as he showed interest last year in a potential takeover of the Tech3 KTM MotoGP team.

Hopefully, Hamilton and Lawson's off-road outings will help them get their sporting revenge on four wheels in 2026!
