Today, a video titled ‘F1 Drivers Word Association: Part 1’ has been put up.  It shows questions being posed to drivers regarding various leisure topics. There is certainly no official information per se but there is a vast display of camaraderie and sarcasm, surely bound to lift everyone’s spirits.

It plays out with the first round being “Friend”. The common answer in this is “Pierre Gasly”. This goes on to show his good personality despite his performance which costed a demotion to Torro Rosso. Another answer that catches attention is that of Lewis Hamilton who answers “my car”. This looks like a sort of mockery by him towards his haters. It should come as no surprise to his rivals who’ve constantly complained about the Mercedes car, which according to them has a cost advantage to it.

The next two rounds “Underrated” and “Overrated” again see orthodox answers from Lewis Hamilton who replies “Red Bull”. Is it sarcasm? Or will he one day join Red Bull just to satisfy certain expectations? Only time can tell.

Further, we witness the typical nonchalant and funny attitudes of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel. For instance, the former with his reluctant attitude gives fans a major glimpse of what they had missed lately.  Alongside this, Vettel who answers “Graham Hill” when asked to name “Classy” drivers.

Lastly, not to mention, Daniel Ricciardo and his joyous behavior that is clearly evident throughout the video. Especially when he subtly takes a jibe at Hamilton for being “unlucky”.
