Red Bull racing was the center for plenty of on and off-track drama during the entire 2022 season. However, in terms of pure racing, the Milton Keynes-based outfit was exceptional. The team finished the season by winning WCC and now they can sit back and look back at 2022 with pride. Also, with a bit of humor, as they have done in a hilarious digital holiday postcard that took a dig at Ferrari and Mercedes.

Red Bull’s social media team has outdone itself with the digital greeting card. The team not only made fun of Mercedes and Ferrari in the greeting card but also the team itself with one major anecdote. In the digital greeting card, Santa carrying a turkey has a dialogue bubble over him that reads, “The turkey might’ve taken us over budget…”
Apart from the hilarious, self-inflicting joke, there’s plenty to laugh about at the expense of Mercedes and Ferrari. The greeting card, which features the entire Red Bull family, also features the Ferrari F1-75 and Mercedes W13. The Mercedes and Ferrari challengers are in a discarded box labeled, “Unwanted toys”.
To add depth to the mockery, the W13 is bouncing into the box and the F1-75 is accompanied by a red notepad labeled, “Strategy”. To paint the picture fully, the two Red Bull drivers are playing with the RB18, which comes in a box. A box with a detailing feature like, “Zero porpoising” and “Super lovely strategy”.
