2021, the year that offered so much to Formula 1 fans, has finally come to an end! Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton turned up the hype amidst their intense F1 title rivalry, while Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and Carlos Sainz battled all the way to earn the ‘best of the rest’ tag.
There were also the two absolutely unexpected race victories from Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon. And to top it all, veterans Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso found their way back onto the podium in Baku and Qatar, respectively.
Hence, 2021 was indeed one of the most fruitful years for the entire racing fraternity; and hoping to witness a repeat in 2022 as well, the F1 community has been buzzing with New Year wishes on social media. Let’s take a look at a few of the tweets from F1 teams, drivers, and journalists.

Thanks for everything followers. What a funny old 2021. I can promise more mundane Tweets in 2022 plus a smattering of F1 content, moaning about bins and airplanes. Here's to next year and cheering on AFC Wimbledon and Sutton United. 👍🏻
