Toronto Raptors big man Serge Ibaka appears to be enjoying his summer vacation. In a recent Instagram post, the 6-foot-10 forward poked fun at himself for having trouble getting into a Formula One car.

The clip shows a struggling Ibaka trying to fit himself into the cockpit of an F1 car, which after a bit of resistance, he was successfully able to accomplish.
Ibaka is currently in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix, which will be holding its culminating race Sunday night. According to his Instagram activity, the Congo-born player is supporting McLaren F1 team driver Fernando Alonso, who also happens to have a brief cameo towards the end of Ibaka's video.
In his first full season in Toronto, Ibaka helped the Raptors claim the top spot in the Eastern Conference with a 59-23 record. The big man played a pivotal role in the franchise clinching its winningest record since its establishment in 1993. Ibaka averaged 12.6 points on 48.3% shooting, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.4 3-pointers per ball game.
However, the playoffs were a different story for both Ibaka and the Raptors, who were ultimately swept by LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The 28-year-old's numbers dropped to 8.7 points on 41.7% shooting, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 swats, and 0.9 treys per contest in the postseason.
Ibaka will be entering the second year of his three-year deal with the Raptors and he is slated to earn $21 million next term.
