The best moments from F1 Secret Santa over the years

F1's annual Secret Santa has consistently delivered unforgettable moments since its inception in 2017, blending hilarious pranks with genuinely touching gestures. Drivers embrace the festive tradition, exchanging gifts that range from Max Verstappen's infamous canned fish for Valtteri Bottas to Lewis Hamilton's 'retirement' slippers for Felipe Massa. More recently, Carlos Sainz received modelling clay from Franco Colapinto, jokingly discarding red clay as he prepares for Williams, while Zhou Guanyu's chili costume bet led to Carlos fulfilling his promise after Sauber scored points. Other highlights include Sebastian Vettel adopting 61 bees for Nicholas Latifi, and Lando Norris's framed photo of Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly, proving the spirit of camaraderie and cheeky humour thrives within the grid during the holidays.
