Our essential Christmas F1 driver lineup

'Twas the night before Christmas and not a creature was stirring.

Except for us, trying to think of endless Formula 1-based Christmas puns to create a complete F1 grid.

Firstly, let's start with some team names and who would be in charge, although they're probably all driving home for Christmas by now. Don't worry, it gets worse...

Christmas F1 teams

Myrhh-cedes would be looking to get back to winning ways under their Christmas-loving team principal Hoho Wolff, while Reindeer Fur-rari would be led by Fred-nosed-reindeer Vasseur.

James Carols would retain his place at Williams (couldn't think of one), Red (and Green) Bull would head into the season with Laurent Mektrees, and Al-pine needles would of course be led by none other than Flavoursome Brie-atore.
