Czech Republic President Petr Pavel has been earning admiration for an unusual way of spending his vacations—working as a photographer at Formula 1 and other motorsport events.
Rather than attending races as a special guest, Pavel obtains full media accreditation and joins professional photographers trackside to capture the action.
The Czech leader is said to pursue the role purely out of his passion for photography and motorsports, taking part as a credentialed media photographer during his time off from official duties.
His unique hobby has attracted widespread praise online, with many people commending his dedication to a personal interest despite serving as the country’s president.
