It wasn’t long before fans came flooding in with their recommendations, with some naming instant festive classics.

“Love Actually ofc”, wrote one user.

“It’s always and forever going to be Home Alone”, said another.

“Elf. Always Elf”, a third wrote.

Several users gave the 22-year-old the recommendation of Die Hard, including his team’s esports and gaming branch, McLaren Shadow, who followed up the Bruce Willis suggestion with: “Don’t @ us.”

The official McLaren F1 X account also got involved and hilariously gave the answer of “Qatar 2023 Sprint Highlights”, referring to Piastri’s maiden win in the sport in the Sprint race at the Losail Circuit.
