The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix brought different results for different drivers. For instance, to Lewis, it signified the triumph of authority. For Alonso, it brought the curtains on what has been a truly fascinating career, marked with 32 race wins, 97 podium finishes, culminating into 2 world titles.

For Sebastian Vettel, however, it meant finishing the race on the podium, a strong one at that in the form of a P2.

But for the fans, it meant a fascinating spectacle altogether.

Wondering how?

There wasn't one but three drivers together who performed the signature celebratory 'donut' move at the conclusion of the 55-lap contest, Hamilton, Vettel, and Alonso performed the donuts and drove their respective cars in circles to celebrate with the fans, giving everyone something to cheer about.

Not since the 2018 Donut-festival as seen at the Abu Dhabi race track has F1 seen multiple drivers involved in such a grand fiesta.
