THE ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX ACCORDING TO SOCIAL MEDIA

Side quests, Christmas present ideas, and end of season celebrations: Abu Dhabi’s best tweets

Get your 2023 bingo cards and marker pens at the ready.

Who had McLaren to enjoy an incredible turnaround? How about McLaren to finish fourth in the Constructors’ Championship with nine podiums and an F1 Sprint win?  What about Lando Norris scoring his highest number of podiums and points in F1? And how about Oscar Piastri to finish as the best rookie with two podiums and an F1 Sprint win? Or McLaren to break the world record for fastest pit-stop?

Now, this one is a little trickier… Lando Norris to arrive in Abu Dhabi wearing a traditional thobe and Oscar Piastri in an Australian cricket jersey?

From World Records to personal records and our highest number of podiums in more than a decade, this season has been a wild ride. Our tricky start in Bahrain feels like a long time ago now, but it’s only right we acknowledge where we came from and how far we’ve come. As always, you summed it up perfectly across social media as we wrapped up the 2023 season. Here’s what you were talking about over the weekend…  

We couldn’t believe we were saying this, but for the final time this year, it was race week!

The only acceptable reaction to Pato driving our F1 car.

The added benefit of Pato driving Lando’s car in FP1 was that it provided us with some bonus Landrea content from the pit-wall.

Two for two, @mattylarsen2.

Pasta? Chocolate? Don’t let anyone ever tell you that drivers aren’t relatable. Although, whoever got Oscar in the McLaren Secret Santa, you might want to consider getting him a comb.

Ahhh, we had always wondered what the A and the C stood for in Oscar’s initials.

Always fighting for more.

We fought to the final flag, but settled for a solid P5 and P6 in the end, which was enough to secure us fourth in the Constructors’ Championship.

Thanks for being by our side all year long, team. We can't wait to do it all over again in 2024.
