The Formula One calendar hasn't been kind to teams and drivers this month, with back-to-back races in two different continents half a world apart. Even for high-paid drivers it's an exhausting long-haul trip, as you can see from this picture of Nico Rosberg, Daniel Ricciardo, Jenson Button, Felipe Massa, David Coulthard, Esteban Gutierrez and Max Verstappen just landing in Azerbaijan on Wednesday evening.

And if you're interested about the comfort of their transatlantic flight, here's an extra picture taken en route.
