All 20 F1 drivers went to dinner together in Abu Dhabi before the final race of the year to mark 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel’s retirement, wit💮h the four-time world champion 💯exiting the sport at the end of this season.

A photo went viral on social media ♌of a restaurant bill costing $140k but it wasn’t from the F1 drivers’ dinner, and Albon has now said: “What a load of rubbish!”

The Williams driver said about the dinner at Hakkas🦩an: “We’re normal people. We’re not here expecting caviar on our plate and gold spoons. 

“We had a set menu, there were a lot of people with dietary requirements like obviously,168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton is vegan. Lewis 𓂃covered the bill, very nice of him. He organised it as ꧑well, very nice of him.”

The dinner was a rare moment for rivalries to be swept to one side to celebrate thܫe career of Vettel.

“The dinner, truthfully spea🍌king, was really special,” Alb൩on said. 

“It was a lot of fun. I think every driver ,[includi𝔉ng] myself, my ch꧑eeks were aching just smiling and laughing the whole time so it was really good.

“I feel like I’ll get in trouble to say who did what. That was a strict policy of the dinner it🌼self. We 💟can’t say what happened. There were some very good stories being told.”

Albon finished the season 19th in the 2022 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 standings and will be joined by a new teammate in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up, with Logan Sargeant replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicholas Latifi.
