Marrakech – For most of us, summer break means lounging by the pool or maybe a quick getaway to the beach.
But when you’re Lewis Hamilton, you take a detour that’s as adventurous as your career, straight through the heart of Africa.
For the second year in a row, the Formula 1 superstar has swapped the screech of tires for something a bit more soulful.
“For a second year, I’m so fortunate to travel through Africa during the break,” Hamilton shared with his fans on an Instagram post, clearly basking in the glow of his journey.
He also emphasized his feeling towards Morocco, stating: “Morocco was the first stop, words can’t describe the experience, hopefully photos come close.”
And there you have it – words from the man who usually lets his driving do the talking.
It’s not every day you see a race car driver waxing poetic about peace and healing, but then again, Lewis Hamilton isn’t your everyday driver.
Morocco, with its vibrant souks and serene deserts, seems to have offered him more than just a scenic backdrop; it’s given him a chance to hit the brakes and reflect.

Fans from all corners of the globe lit up Lewis Hamilton’s social media with a flood of positive emojis, showing their support and excitement for his soulful journey.
Hearts, happy emojis, and Moroccan flags filled the comment section, but leave it to one witty fan to throw a curveball.
In a playful twist, a fan cheekily asked, “By the way, what speed does the camel move?”
Now, it’s hard to imagine Hamilton trading his sleek, high-octane Mercedes for a camel, but hey, it’s all about adapting to the local horsepower, right?
At least this time, there’s no need for a pit stop – just a leisurely pace through the sands, where top speed isn’t measured in miles per hour, but in moments of pure, unhurried bliss.
