When Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo began to unwrap his gift, he quickly realised it was a karaoke microphone.

Speaking about the gift, he said that since Leclerc got interviewed in Suzuka, Ricciardo was singing behind him while giving an interview of his own. He unwrapped yet another gift and peeled away the paper to unveil a karaoke machine, to go along with his microphone and a top 40 biggest karaoke Christmas hits album. Reflecting on his gifts, Ricciardo admitted that he got very confused as he assumed that drivers had a minimal budget of €20. The Renault driver eventually guessed his Secret Santa by naming Max Verstappen because he probably knows him the best out of all the drivers.
