The gap between seasons results in a number of different activities for F1 drivers. Some are away with friends for the winter, others are on training camps and a few are even relaxing on a beach. For Romain Grosjean, it's a time to be a father without having to fly to another race, with the Frenchman posting this image of him teaching his son to ice skate this week.
