The F1 grid gathered on Thursday evening - at the behest of Lewis Hamilton - for their annual pre-finale dinner in Abu Dhabi, setting aside rivalries and off-track drama to share laughs and stories from a thrilling year.
While egos and disputes are part of the sport, nights like this remind us that these 20 drivers are a family of sorts.
As for feuding foes Max Verstappen and George Russell, Lando Norris couldn’t help but spill the tea on Instagram.
“Yes, the two you’re thinking about were sat as far away from each other as possible”.
But even with rivalries intact, the camaraderie of this group shines through – a reminder that respect goes deeper than any race result.
