Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, former Ferrari teammates, embarked on a road trip together after their flight back home was canceled following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Originally scheduled to fly to Nice, the duo ended up renting a van to drive from Italy to Monaco due to a storm diverting their flight path.
The amusing incident was shared by Leclerc in a viral video clip where they humorously navigated their unexpected journey.
Sainz jokingly remarked on the impromptu van ride, estimating they would make the trip in one and a half hours instead of the projected two.
While Sainz celebrated his first podium for Williams in Baku, Leclerc struggled, finishing ninth behind teammate Hamilton as Ferrari faced another disappointing weekend.
