The Christmas celebrations are in full swing for the F1 paddock and the fans. As the teams have shut their development for the festive break, drivers and crew members share their festive images on social media. However, Ferrari’s humorous Christmas celebration video including Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, back in 2015 remains one of the most iconic videos in the history of Formula 1.

Ferrari back in 2015 still struggled to bridge the gap with Mercedes. Vettel won three races that year and Raikkonen won none. However, this did not discourage the Maranello from putting a smile on their fans’ faces by creating a hilarious Christmas celebration video. The video shows the drivers and the test and reserve drivers singing the historic Merry Christmas song in a rather hilarious manner.

Drivers including Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, Esteban Gutierrez, and Marc Gene were seen in the video singing and dancing to the song. The Iceman is playing the Triangle musical instrument to the song whereas Marc Gene and Esteban Gutierrez are hilariously playing Tambourine. The four-time world champion is playing the Maracas to the rhythm of ‘We wish you a Merry Christmas’

As the song ends and the video nears its end, confetti starts flying over the screen and the Ferrari drivers take up a way of standing. Presumably, someone edited the hooting and cheering over the video, as the video doesn’t feature a live appearance from the drivers. The backdrop for the video is a Christmas tree in a room over a green screen as well.

Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz participated in the F1 Secret Santa and received Hilarious gifts

The two Ferrari drivers for 2024, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz did not miss out on the opportunity to participate in the F1’s Secret Santa between all the drivers. However, both the drivers might not have had the best experience in terms of receiving gifts as Carlos Sainz got a spicy gift from Valtteri Bottas for Secret Santa, meanwhile Leclerc received a meaningful gift from Fernando Alonso.

Lord Perceval received a paddle racket as a gift from Fernando Alonso which was considered very helpful and a useful gift choice from the Veteran. However, Sainz on the other hand received a very uncertain and hilarious gift from Bottas. The Spaniard received chili underwear, relating to his nickname ‘Chilli’ on the grid.

Ferrari has become one of the funnier teams on the paddock in recent years not only because of its PR stunts but also the bubbly personality of their drivers. As the Maranello puts the mediocre 2023 season behind them, Ferrari is continuously pushing ahead in hopes of better results in the following season for the team.
