The truth of receipts exceeding 20 million yen spread at Sebastian Vettel’s F1 farewell party[F1-Gate.com]

Alexander Albon has claimed that the 615,065 AED receipt circulated on social media following being picked up by Lewis Hamilton at the Abu Dhabi restaurant where all F1 drivers farewell Sebastian Vettel is fake, Alexander Albon has said. .

On Thursday night ahead of the final race of 2022, Lewis Hamilton hosted a farewell party for all of the F1 drivers who will be retiring from Formula 1 at the end of the year.

However, the next day, a $140,000 receipt, believed to be from the farewell party, spread on social media. Fans knew it was fake, but some fans spread it for fun.

First of all, the dinner took place on the eve of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, so there was no chance for the F1 drivers to go to the bar and order an expensive bottle of Vino Collapso. Also, the farewell party was not held at Nusr-Et Steakhouse, owned by the infamous Salt Bae.

Alexander Albon has admitted that Lewis Hamilton took on a lot of the expense, but denied rumors that the group had wine and dine at Abu Dhabi’s famed Salt Bae-owned Nusr-Et Steakhouse at a lavish expense. .

‘How silly,’ Alexander Albon said on the latest F1 Nation podcast.

“I saw the bill. It was for Salt Bae, but we didn’t eat there. We ate at a place called Hakkasan.”

“We are normal people. We don’t expect caviar and golden spoons on our plates.”

“It was a set menu. Of course Luis is vegan and we know he needs a lot of food.”

“Lewis very kindly paid for it. He hosted it. I am very grateful to him. So he knows what the bill is.”

Alexander Albon revealed that this special night was marked by an atmosphere of warm camaraderie and solidarity, accompanied by mischievous laughter, but within the group, the words and actions of the night never left the room. He says that there was a clear understanding that there was no.

“Honestly, the dinner was really special,” said Alexander Albon.

“It was a lot of fun. All the drivers, myself included, were all smiling and laughing all the time, so I think my cheeks hurt. It was really fun.”

“I’m not going to get into trouble by saying who did what. That was a strict policy of the dinner itself. I can’t say what happened, but it was a very good story told.”
