F1: Czech President Petr Pavel appeared at the F1 race

The Czech Republic president Petr Pavel was photographed at the weekend from a surprising place. The enthusiastic sportsman was at the Hungarian F1 competition on the track in the role of cameraman.

Sports photography is a hobby for Pavel, and he follows motor sports passionately, he says Motorsport.

Pavel arrived at the Hungarian competition in complete silence. He had with him comprehensive camera equipment and official Fia accreditation. The president wore a vest meant for photographers and thus blended in with the media.

Pavel has also filmed motorsport events before. Most recently, Pavel traveled to France in June to follow the 24 hours of Le Mans, again with full camera equipment.

He also met the Prime Minister of Hungary on the track Péter Magyarin.

McLaren’s Lando Norris won the Hungarian GP. Valtteri Bottas stopped the race.

Pavel blended in with the other photographers.

Pavel attracted attention in Finland in May by jogging with the President of the Republic, Alexander Stubb.

Stubb was on a state visit to the Czech capital, Prague. The presidents jogged with their entourage through the streets of Prague.

The running group also included a Czech-Finnish runner Kristina Mäki and a soccer player representing Sparta Prague Kairinen too.
