Flying high
Travelling by private jet may seem extravagant, but far less so when you share the plane with around a dozen friends and colleagues. How many F1 drivers (past and present) can you name?
19 forever
Who does he think he's kidding? Williams' Felipe Massa - seen here celebrating with long-time colleague Rob Smedley - turned 35 earlier in the week.
Taking time out
Lewis Hamilton was in New York after being included in Time magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Who to take to the gala? The world champion used all those powers of influence to persuade his mum to join him.
Busman's holiday
How does Renault's Kevin Magnussen relax between Grands Prix? By driving another car, of course. And very quickly to boot.

Red Bull on the slide
Local hero Daniil Kvyat headed up into the Krasnaya Polyana mountain range and to the Sanki Sliding Centre, home of Sochi’s Olympic bobsleigh run, where he spent a day with the Gold medal-winning Russian national bobsleigh team. They even found him one with appropriate livery.
Fan-tastic
No prizes for guessing who is this Russian fan's F1 hero. Lewis Hamilton was suitably impressed.

Max pressure
Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen displayed a youthful lack of inhibition as he chose to share a more intimate moment with his considerable Twitter following.
Century cake - Part Two
Force India weren't the only ones baking over the Sochi weekend. Official F1 tyre suppliers Pirelli also got in the act with their own special centenary creation.
