With a global calendar and multi-million-dollar pay checks, where do F1 drivers choose to call home?

While some drivers prefer to stay close to their roots, others navigate the world map like seasoned globetrotters.

Yet, one location shines brighter than the rest: the glittering principality of Monaco, which boasts nine drivers on its resident list.
However, this is just part of the puzzle. Almost every driver has a second or even third home in another corner of the world.
Lewis Hamilton, for example, has a global portfolio with houses in Geneva and Manhattan, whereas Daniel Ricciardo splits his time between Los Angeles and his hometown of Perth.
So, where do all 20 drivers live, and why did many of them choose Monaco? Let's find out.

READ MORE: F1 Driver Salaries: How much do Hamilton and co make?
Why does Monaco attract so many F1 drivers?
The answer lies in a potent co*cktail of sun, glamour, privacy and tax benefits. Monaco residents enjoy a zero-tax policy (no income tax, no wealth tax, no local tax, no property tax, and no capital gains tax), which is a significant advantage for those earning multimillion-dollar salaries.
Beyond the financial, Monaco's location in the heart of Europe makes it a logistical dream for F1 drivers. Close proximity to major racetracks across the continent minimises travel time and fatigue.
Privacy and security are also key ingredients in Monaco's allure. The strict government regulations on photography further shield celebrities from unwanted paparazzi intrusions, allowing them to enjoy a bit of normalcy amidst the whirlwind of their careers.
However, it's not all sunshine and roses in Monaco. Even with robust security measures, privacy breaches aren't unheard of. Just last year, Charles Leclerc's home address was leaked, leading to unwanted interruptions at his doorstep.
This serves as a reminder that even in havens like Monaco, complete escape from public scrutiny can be elusive.
