Lewis Hamilton and his mother Carmen Larbalestier go horse riding and visit a Tibetan village in Jiuzhaigou ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix.

The F1 driver, 41, has spent two days travelling around Jiuzhaigou in southwestern China with his mother after racing in last week's Melbourne Grand Prix. 

And ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on Sunday, Lewis spent some quality time with his mum Carmen, 70, as the pair went sight seeing across the country. 

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Lewis shared an array of snaps from their trip as the pair were seen horseback riding and taking in the sights of Jiuzhaigou National Park.

Lewis revealed that he and his mum had stayed at the ultra-luxury resort Ritz-Carlton Rissai Valley resort in Jiuzhaigou County.

He wrote: 'I look forward to coming here every year. This year I wanted to do as much as I could before the race. 

'The past 48 hours have been filled with culture and nature, from Rissai Valley to Jiuzhaigou National Park. Riding horses, visiting a Tibetan village, and spending time with my mum has brought me so much joy. 

'Some of what I've seen has been so beautiful, it's almost indescribable.'

Preparing for his upcoming race, Lewis added: 'I'm heading to the to the track feeling so inspired and restored and especially grateful for everything I've experienced these past 2 days.'

It comes after it was reported Lewis has 'met his match' in Kim Kardashian.

The British Formula One driver and the reality TV star, 45, are 'going strong and really happy' a source told US Weekly on Monday.

The seven-time world champion 'is head over heels and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match.'

Lewis 'has waited over a decade for his dream girl and is crazy about her' the insider added.

The Ferrari superstar - who recently enjoyed a getaway with Kim - has been 'FaceTiming' with the mother-of-four 'regularly from the paddock.'

And though they can't spend as much time together as they would like, the Skims founder has been 'incredibly supportive' of his busy schedule.

The two are reportedly both 'very committed to making things work' and those close to the pair believe 'this could be endgame for them both.'

A source also previously told the publication that Lewis has not met Kim's children yet, but she is 'open' to the idea.

The insider said: 'Lewis is such a great guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He's been making all the plans and making sure she is taken care of.

'Everyone around her thinks it's really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all aspects of her life.'

The two recently enjoyed a luxurious trip together in Utah.

The couple were spotted taking in the sunset at an exclusive vacation destination along the Colorado River last month.

TMZ reported the secluded overlook is 'within striking distance' of Amangiri, an ultra-exclusive five-star desert resort.

Amangiri, which offers luxury suites that range from $3,500 and over $7,000 per night, is a discreet hideaway for celebrities seeking total privacy.

According to the outlet, the pair were spotted snapping a cozy selfie together before heading back toward a waiting black SUV parked nearby.

They only made their first joint public outing last month at Super Bowl LX, but their recent travel itinerary suggests this romance is quickly moving into serious territory.
