Leclerc, Russell and Albon swap F1 cars for lawnmowers

Charles Leclerc, George Russell and Alex Albon continue to entertain fans, this time in lawnmowers.

Leclerc, Russell and Albon have been making a name for themselves as being three of the biggest characters in the Formula 1 paddock during the shutdown.

As was the case when the trio were simulating long distance lorry driving several days ago, any kind of rule or regulation quickly went out of the window - Russell demonstrating this by cutting a corner to ensure contact with Albon.

Where stopping on unnecessarily on track is usually considered an offence, Russell also seemed content to block who he thought was Albon while Leclerc reminisced about his battles with Max Verstappen in the British Grand Prix.

Albon too appeared keen to get vengeance on a rival after contact was made, cutting a sizable corner to torpedo the driver.

While not the serious racing that we all usually enjoy, this trio are certainly providing fans with the kind of entertainment that you just can't help but smile about.
