F1 | Lewis Hamilton in Santa Claus mode: what he gifted to Ferrari employees. Lewis Hamilton surprised Maranello with Christmas gifts for Ferrari employees.

Lewis Hamilton chose a special way to bring his first, complicated year at Ferrari to a close, with gifts that were just as special. The seven-time world champion sent Christmas presents to employees within Ferrari’s sporting management, a gesture that has emerged in recent hours on social media thanks to images shared by people from inside the Maranello environment.

From the photos published on Instagram, the British driver’s signature can clearly be seen on several carefully selected gifts. These were not simple promotional gadgets, but personal and elegant presents, closely linked to a typically British tradition, reflecting attention to detail and genuine appreciation for those who work every day behind the scenes.

What did Hamilton give to Ferrari employees?

Among the gifts were refined packages from Fortnum & Mason, the historic London institution synonymous with excellence. Christmas teas, artisanal biscuits, citrus shortbread, premium blends and boxes prepared with great care stood out in the images shared online. In some of the photos, a card can also be seen with the message “Happy Holidays, from Lewis”, a simple yet direct note, accompanied by an autographed photograph of the driver.

This gesture takes on even greater significance when placed within the context of Lewis Hamilton’s season. His first year at Ferrari was far from straightforward, marked by adaptation difficulties, results below expectations and constant media pressure. Despite this, the British driver wanted to thank those who work daily both at the factory and at the track, showing respect for the Ferrari environment and for the people who make it what it is.

A gesture that did not go unnoticed in Maranello

In Maranello, gestures of this kind do not go unnoticed. Ferrari is a team that lives not only on technical performance, but also on strong human relationships. Lewis Hamilton appears to have understood this clearly, choosing to build his journey at the Scuderia through signals of closeness and gratitude, especially after such a complex and demanding year.

The message that emerges is clear. Beyond the on-track results, Lewis Hamilton wants to be an integral part of the Ferrari family. A bond that is also built through small gestures, which nevertheless have the power to leave a lasting impression. Looking ahead to the 2026 season, this attitude could prove fundamental in strengthening internal unity and starting again with a renewed and more positive spirit.
