After the disappointment of finishing second at the Australian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton stopped off in the UAE to try some surfing and sandboarding.

The 32-year-old shared pictures and videos on his Instagram story just a day after Ferrari stormed to victory at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit.

Hamilton is expected to return to his base in Monte Carlo after a few days in the UAE, before travelling to China for the second round of the Formula One championship on April 9.
