Water slides, waterfalls and roti canai: How F1 stars are enjoying Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR: While Formula One championship leader Kimi Antonelli was having fun at SplashMania waterpark in Kuala Lumpur, his Mercedes teammate George Russell was enjoying “the beautiful Langkawi” with six other drivers after arriving in Malaysia for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, both drivers for Mercedes, have been enjoying their time in Malaysia ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Antonelli was spotted at SplashMania waterpark, where he went down the same slide five times in under three minutes, enjoying the adrenaline rush and the relatively few people there. Russell, on the other hand, opted for a more laid-back adventure in Langkawi, joining six other drivers for a cruise, go-karting, and a dip at a waterfall.
He described Langkawi as "incredible," praising the friendly locals and the unique atmosphere. Russell also sampled local cuisine, particularly enjoying roti canai, a flatbread commonly found in Malaysia. The drivers are set to head to the Sepang International Circuit for the Bahrain Grand Prix, with the race weekend scheduled from October 2-4.
