George Russell is missing racing but enjoying holidays with girlfriend Carmen Montero Mundt as fans ask, ‘Why is everyone in Sardinia?'
Max Verstappen and Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff are not the only ones who usually spend their summer holidays in Sardinia. George Russell has now joined the list, sharing fresh vacation pictures from his yacht in the scenic Italian destination.
While Sardinia's charm is well known among the F1 fraternity, fans seemed far more interested in Russell's shirtless pictures, which he posted alongside snaps of his girlfriend, Carmen Montero Mundt, on Instagram as the couple continues to enjoy the summer break.
George Russell holidays with girlfriend in Sardinia
On Thursday, Russell took to Instagram to share a series of photos from his yacht getaway with Mundt, captioning the post: 'Missing racing, enjoying holidays', accompanied by a sunrise-over-mountains emoji.
The carousel included shirtless shots of Russell relaxing on his yacht, a couple of sweet moments with Mundt, and an impressive video of the Mercedes driver surfing like a pro on an electric surfboard. He also confirmed that he was following his exercise regime as well to ensure he is in shape when he returns to the track. It seems the couple are accompanied by a few near and dear ones as well. He was also seen kayaking with a young child, protectively shielding them with his legs.

Fans react to George Russell's vacation post
Fans, however, were quick to zero in on Russell's shirtless appearances — a recurring theme on his Instagram. One fan joked, 'New game: take a shot every time you see a shirtless George Russell.' Another wrote, 'Shirtless George photos are so back.' A third commented, 'The number of shirtless photos here.'
One quirky exchange saw a fan ask, 'What comes after seven?!??!!' to which many cheekily replied, 'Ate', referencing his shirtless shots.
Others kept it simple, with comments like, 'Why is everyone in Sardinia?' and 'Missing you Georgeyyy. Come back on that podium.'
Russell has been making the most of his luxury yacht, which he purchased earlier this year for a hefty sum. He has shared several pictures from aboard the vessel in the past, and recently, Mundt also posted a few glimpses of their time on it. Verstappen also owns a yacht and often holidays in Sardinia with girlfriend Kelly Piquet and his daughters.

Roads crumble, craters surface in Noida after rain
Noida: Intermittent rainfall over the past few days has stalled repair work on the Mahamaya Flyover's expansion joints and left several key stretches pockmarked with rough patches and potholes. Officials now say that the project will now be finished by Aug 31. Meanwhile, key stretches from Kalindi Kunj to Sector 37 have developed fresh potholes, slowing traffic and increasing the risk of accidents. A speed breaker near the Botanical Garden metro station is also badly damaged, adding to commuter woes. In May this year, Noida Authority began repairing the Mahamaya Flyover's expansion joints and said the project would be completed within two months.

Vijay Rawal, deputy general manager (Civil) at the Noida Authority, said, "The road sees heavy traffic during morning and evening hours. The traffic police do not allow the project work during peak hours. Therefore, the work has been delayed as we can only conduct it in the afternoon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo We hope to complete it by Aug 31." The 450-metre-long flyover, built in 2006 to facilitate smooth vehicular movement between Noida and Delhi, has seen several rounds of repair and resurfacing over the years. However, this is the first time that all 36 expansion joints are being replaced. Govind Kumar, a resident of Kalindi Kunj, said that he frequently travels from Delhi to Noida via Kalindi Kunj. "Potholes are like hidden traps on the road, as people don't see them until it's too late. For two-wheeler riders, even a small jerk can throw them off balance and cause a serious accident. The officials must fix these potholes as soon as possible," he said. Rough patches have also been developed on the Sector 60 road that descends from the Noida Elevated Road. Many people traveling from Noida Sector 18 to 62 and Greater Noida West take this stretch daily. Noida Authority said the potholes will be identified and fixed once the monsoon rainfall is over.

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 begins with host Amitabh Bachchan making his grand entry, joking that it's rare for two ladies to be waiting for him. He then introduces contestants Sonal Gupta and Kalyani, who will be playing the 'Jaldi 5' round with him. Kalyani answers all five questions correctly and secures her place on the hot seat. Overjoyed, she breaks into a dance, prompting Big B to playfully tease her about her dance moves. He even imitates her which leaves everyone laughing out loud. After taking the hot seat, she compliments Big B and jokingly calls her brother 'Betaal.' She tells Mr. Bachchan that while most contestants reach the hot seat with their parents' blessings, today her brother has made it to the KBC stage because of her. She calls Big B her friend and tries to convince him to help her during the game. Amitabh Bachchan resumes the game and presents the first question for Rs 50,000. Which of these films directed by Sooraj Barjatya did not feature Salman Khan? Kalyani confidently selects Option D) Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon.

She added that she would love to gift them a tour of India. Playfully, Big B asked if she would share some of the money with her younger brother as well. Kalyani quipped that bringing him on the show was already a big enough gift — what more could she possibly give him?
