Let’s take up the world champions first. The Red Bull men have plenty to be joyous about this year. However, not everything makes it to social media as both Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are awol. Although, the Red Bull team boss, Christian Horner, showcased his Christmas celebration on Instagram as he and his family got a visit from Santa.

Second in the championship and on the list, the Ferrari men, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Both Ferrari men spent Christmas with their families, as their Instagram will tell you. Sainz, looking absolutely dapper, posted a story with his family, and Leclerc shared a post with his brothers and mother in the frame.

The Mercedes men were on the same trajectory as the others. Lewis Hamilton may be a little different from the others, as the Brit shared his Christmas message during a run. The Brit shared a story during a run amidst snowy mountains with a message that read, “Merry Christmas World. I hope and pray you are surrounded by your loved ones. I’m sending you light and love.”

Look at what the rest of the F1 drivers and a particular bulldog associated with Lewis Hamilton did on Christmas day

The Alpine man, Esteban Ocon, needed clarification on a particular subject from Santa. He posed a question in his Instagram post’s caption, which read, “Dear Santa, define ‘nice.’” On the other hand, there is radio silence on his former teammate Fernando Alonso’s social media.

However, Ocon’s new teammate Pierre Gasly is up in the French Alps with his family and is thankful for his “4 little angels”. We have a feeling Gasly’s AlphaTauri mate, Yuki Tsunoda, is close by, as he likes to be, with a cryptic post from the mountains.

Stepping away from the human of F1, Hamilton’s bulldog Roscoe also wished the world a merry Christmas with a throwback of the Brit and Coco alongside him.
