Both smiled at the camera as Russell lifted a kettle bell in the background.
The Mercedes team will be hoping for a much improved performance down under.
And they may be quietly confident heading into the race too since Hamilton has made pole in every Australian Grand Prix since 2014.
Following the Saudi debacle, Silver Arrows team principal Toto Wolff is believed to be overseeing car upgrades in time for this weekend’s race.
Hamilton, meanwhile, enjoyed a rest day after landing – during which he decided to go sky diving.
The thrill-seeker wrote “Rest day, best day!!” as he posted about his sky diving exploits on social media.
Wolff admitted to Sky Sports that his team’s start to the season has been an “exercise in humility”.
He said: “We were right in the middle of those fun games at the front for eight years.
“It’s extremely painful to not be part of those games by quite a chunk of lap-time deficit. It’s no fun at all.
“It’s an exercise in humility and it’s going to make us stronger in the end, even though it’s not fun right now.”
