What have F1 drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Alexander Albon been doing in Thailand?

First held in 1963, the Japanese Grand Prix is an event that racing fans keep an eye on every year. As one of the last races of the season, it’s seen as title-deciding for many, and described as one of the most challenging circuits in Formula One.

Drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Alexander Albon are up to compete in Suzaka next week, and both the German-born and Thai-British competitor have been seen to be relaxing in Thailand before the preparations begin.

As per Nico’s posted photos, he has been riding on a tuk-tuk around town, and going for a boat ride down the Chao Phraya river passing the iconic Wat Arun. The German F1 driver was also out shopping in Chatuchak market, and passed by Imdee fishball noodle in Sukhumvit 23.

As per Alex’s Instagram, he has also been having a grand time in Bangkok. He was seen on the bustling Yaowarat road, taking photos from the Ratchaprasong sky walk, playing golf with his peers, and chowing down boat noodles.

In the comments section, fans are excited for both of the drivers. Locals are saying “welcome,” and international fans are looking forward to how they’ll perform in the Japanese Grand Prix. Whatever happens, at least they seem to have had a good time in Thailand beforehand.
