The Czech President Spends His Holidays as a Motorsport Photographer

He earned the credentials properly. Czech President Petr Pavel spends his vacations working trackside as an accredited motorsport photographer, and recently went viral for trading his official suit for a media vest and a camera kit at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Rather than sit in a VIP suite, the 64-year-old head of state holds real FIA media credentials and stands with the regular journalists purely for the love of racing.

His portfolio runs well past Formula 1. He made his F1 debut at the Hungaroring carrying his own gear, briefly welcomed by FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, but has also covered the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Dakar Rally, NASCAR in the United States, and MotoGP and World Superbike rounds in Brno. Several of his 2025 Dakar shots were exhibited at Prague's National Technical Museum.

The hobby feeds others rather than him. Pavel keeps none of the profit, once auctioning a custom album of his best racing pictures to raise nearly €30,000 for children's and elderly charities. Before the presidency in 2023 he built a serious military career, chairing NATO's Military Committee from 2015 to 2018. Now he spends his time off holding a lens instead of an office.
