The racing world got a head start on their Christmas celebrations. F1 drivers of the 2022 season got together and played their annual, much-awaited, secret Santa. They received gifts from their respective Santas and things couldn’t be merrier. Amongst the bunch of adorable gifts, the fan favorite, Daniel Ricciardo, received a rather thoughtful gift from a fellow driver.

Back in August this year, pop star Harry Styles was spotted sporting a vintage ‘Daniel Ricciardo T-shirt’ to support the Australian. However, Daniel can now return the favor, all thanks to his secret Santa. It seems life has come ‘full circle’ for The Honey Badger.

Nicholas Latifi gifted Ricciardo with a polaroid and a ‘I Love Harry’ T-shirt. On receiving this gift, the Australian smiled ear to ear, as he said, “Harry Styles! I mean, now I can actually repay the favor and wear something of his, or to dedicate him. Well played Nicholas, you’ve got good taste, Nicky, thanks, mate.”
