“Weekend at sea in Italia,” Russell captioned the post, tagging Pershing Yachts, the makers of his recent purchase, known for their sleek, high-performance boats, a fitting choice for someone who spends his life chasing speed.

The photos show Russell embracing full holiday mode in a relaxed white linen outfit, sunglasses firmly in place as he takes in the Italian sunshine.
