After an ecstatic United States Grand Prix, F1 is waiting for the 1-week break to end, as they can head down to Mexico for a race at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. But, in the end, the timing worked out perfectly for the Halloween night celebrations.

The night of October 31, when the dead come alive around the world ended up knocking on the doors of current and former Formula 1 drivers as well.

A lot of drivers sported interesting costumes, and while some chose to stick with their families at home (Nico Rosberg and Kimi Raikkonen), some attended parties with their girlfriends (Pierre Gasly). The latter of all was spotted with his Ukraine-born girlfriend, Katerine Berezhna.

Raikkonen took the Halloween celebration up a notch by converting his massive villa into a rather ominous mansion. Along with the Alfa Romeo driver, his spouse and both his kids portrayed a complete look to Halloween by wearing spooky-enough costumes.

Meanwhile, Grosjean had a hilarious concept too. The Frenchman and his wife, Marian Grosjean, posed for a picture where the latter is chainsawing the ex-Haas driverā€™s left arm (the one that has been causing troubles since the 2020 Bahrain GP incident).
