In the build-up to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc continued their jovial 'sticker war', with even Lando Norris joining in on the team-based sabotage.
This light-hearted battle was once again spotted in Abu Dhabi - before three-time world champion Verstappen was rumbled by his suspecting rivals.

Not finished there, though, the camaraderie continued during the parade, as drivers were left in stitches as Verstappen cleverly managed to affix a sticker onto the back of Lando Norris.
Eventually, Mercedes won that battle despite Leclerc's crafty attempt to give Sergio Perez an advantage over George Russell - which would have seen the Italians take the runners-up spot.
The 2023 season might be over, but 'stickergate' is almost certain to continue in 2024.
