Lewis Hamilton spills the beans on his Christmas dinner favorites
With the racing season finally over and Christmas just around the corner, F1 drivers can finally loosen their belts a little and enjoy some holiday treats.
But don’t expect them to overindulge for long. The 2026 campaign kicks off in just over a month with pre-season testing in Barcelona.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton recently revealed what makes up his perfect Christmas dinner.
“My step-mom makes the best, like, crispy potatoes and gravy — it’s basically a Sunday roast, just mostly with vegetables,” he shared.
The holiday meal doesn’t stop there for Lewis.
“Then there’s a good dessert, like a proper cheesecake or a carrot cake. Afterwards, lots of candy, lots of sweets. I love eating all of that on Christmas Day.”
Who can blame him after months of strict diet regimens?
## Leclerc believes Hamilton will bounce back next season
If anyone was ready for the winter break, it was Hamilton. His first year at Ferrari fell way short of what fans expected.
The British driver struggled to connect with his SF-25 car for most of the season. We only saw occasional flashes of the brilliance he’s famous for.
His performance took a hit in head-to-head battles with his teammate.
Despite Hamilton’s tough year, teammate Charles Leclerc remains confident. He believes Lewis will find his form again next year when new regulations come into play.
The 2025 season might have been disappointing, but Hamilton’s talent hasn’t vanished overnight. Will the new rules give him the fresh start he needs at Ferrari?
