England`s football team, under the guidance of manager Thomas Tuchel, visited the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix as a team-building exercise.
The manager, players, and coaching staff arrived in Barcelona on Sunday morning and headed directly to the F1 circuit.
Thomas Tuchel accompanied the England team during their visit to the Spanish F1 Grand Prix.
The team was photographed with Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula 1.
Prominent players like Harry Kane were observed touring the Red Bull racing garage.
The players were granted special access to the paddock area during their visit.
Despite the Spanish sun, Cole Palmer appeared to find it chilly and wore a jumper in the paddock.
England`s squad will stay in Spain for a training camp following the race.
Arsenal teammates Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly were also spotted on the gridwalk.
Most of the 26-member squad were first-time visitors to an F1 event. After the Grand Prix, they were scheduled to travel to Girona for a training camp.
Upon arrival, many players were seen taking photos with enthusiastic fans.
While most players wore sunglasses and casual shirts, Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer notably wore a jumper, seemingly feeling the cold despite the sunny Spanish weather.
Arsenal teammates Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly were also seen in zippered jackets, although the younger player later took his off.
Meanwhile, manager Tuchel was photographed at the circuit wearing a cap, appearing in good spirits.
The team posed for a group photo with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, who welcomed the footballers to the exciting world of motorsport.
Several players were also given access to team garages before the start of the race.
England captain Harry Kane was among those who toured the Red Bull garage, posing for pictures with team mechanics. Other players, including Morgan Gibbs-White, Dan Burn, and Ollie Watkins, were seen taking photos next to the car.
Fernando Alonso was reportedly overheard making a sarcastic remark about his long-time rival Lewis Hamilton after a mistake before the Spanish Grand Prix.
The England team will stay in Girona until next Saturday. They will then travel back to Barcelona to play a World Cup qualifier against Andorra at Espanyol`s stadium.
Tuchel, who included Chelsea`s Trevoh Chalobah for his first senior call-up, opted to bypass the training facilities at St George`s Park next week, choosing instead for the squad to remain in Spain for the duration.
This decision was made to help the team acclimatize to warmer conditions in preparation for next year`s World Cup, hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Temperatures in Barcelona and Girona are forecast to be around 26°C (79°F), which is cooler than many potential World Cup host cities during this period.
The qualifier scheduled for next weekend was originally planned for Andorra, but the small nation`s new stadium is not yet completed.
Following the match against Andorra, manager Tuchel and the squad are scheduled to travel to the Midlands to prepare for a friendly game against Senegal on June 10th at Villa Park in Birmingham.
Under Tuchel`s management, England previously secured victories in their first two qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
