Both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz talk whilst smiling with a Christmas background

Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc have taken to X to wish Ferrari fans a Merry Christmas, ahead of a Formula 1 Christmas shutdown.

Following a season in which the pair only managed one race victory between them, thanks to Sainz's fabulous exploits at the Singapore Grand Prix, both drivers recorded a nice message after the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi.

Leclerc has already been getting in the Christmas spirit, delivering Zhou Guanyu a signed nude calendar of his team-mate Valtteri Bottas for F1's secret Santa.

It comes as F1 Twitter (X) looks to take a break for the Christmas period, with admin teams already admitting they have been struggling for content in the last couple of days.
