Lewis Hamilton has been enjoying himself in the F1 summer break as he has spent some of his time away from the track in the African country of Rwanda.
The 37-year-old posted pictures of himself on Twitter exploring everything the country has to offer, including making a ‘new best friend’ in a goat that he can be seen holding in one of the pictures.
He said of the country: ‘Rwanda is truly so beautiful. Thank you for having us. I can’t wait to come back.’

Hamilton, who could be starting to consider retirement, has recently admitted that he will stay interested in the sport and that he does not want to be a retired driver that will dig out racers.
He told Viaplay: ‘I’ll always be tapped into this sport, I’ll always be watching.
‘I’ll always want to be someone that’s being positive to whichever drivers that are here, good or bad, because you know how difficult it is to start, and how it can suck and how days can be good and how people can be negative about you.
‘I don’t ever want to be one of those drivers that does that, because we’ve experienced that.’
