Formula 1 isn’t only about racing, it's also about fun. In the first part of the season we watched many funny moments in the paddock, looked at the foolishness of the drivers at press conferences and listened to jokes on the team radio. 

 

Here are the top 10 funniest moments so far.

Lando and milk

Certainly, the debutant of the championship Lando Norris became the leader in the fight for the funniest jokes in the paddock. Jokes and a limitless number of memes on the Internet about Lando's love for milk has become iconic. Follow his tweets - each post is accompanied by an emoji "glass of milk". Definitely, the rookie has an excellent sense of humor. His jokes with the teammate Carlos Sainz, seems, to be worthy of a book. And this is only their first season together. 

Really hope this guy will entertain and make us laugh... like forever! 

 

At the Australian Grand Prix reporters asked one boy from the crowd of fans, is who his favorite driver, to which he replied - Daniel Avocado. This story immediately spread across the Internet and became the new meme of Daniel *still* Ricciardo. Moreover, this joke didn’t pass by the driver himself, Dan met with the boy and talked to him. And then published funny InstaStory, the picture with the avocado and ham sandwich, tagging Lewis Hamilton. The perfect combination!

By the way, Dan and Lewis aren’t the only ones, who became the hero of "food" jokes: fans awarded Charles Leclerc nickname Charles Eclair.

 

 

Mario Vettel
Last year four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel hit everyone with his hair, saying that his hairdresser's name is butcher. Earlier this year the driver decided to more radical experiments and appeared in the paddock with a mustache. Fans immediately reacted to new Seb’s image, finding a new look of the driver similarities with Mario. And some compared it to Nigel Mansell in his youth. Vettel himself says he likes to wear a mustache. As German said, his father also wore a mustache, when he was little boy.

 

 

Open-face helmet 
This year China hosted the 1000th Formula 1 Grand Prix. All drivers have prepared for this remarkable weekend helmets with a special design. However, Kimi Raikkonen had some problems with preparation. At a press conference, he was asked about running a special helmet for the Grand Prix. Kimi replied: "I wanted to have an open-face helmet, but there were some regulations issues...". 

Champagne attack 
Despite the brilliant victory in Monaco, it was a very stressful and nervous race for Lewis Hamilton. The main problem was the tyres. The driver drove 68 laps on the Medium, and sometimes he was at risk of losing the lead. However, the team wasn’t going to call Lewis for a pit stop, and only told him to keep the pace. 

In the end, the race ended for Hamilton and Mercedes successfully. But after the finish Lewis went to the office and suddenly doused his engineer James champagne. "That’s for putting me on the Medium tyres for 68 laps!", - Lewis joked. 

 

Awkward scene in cooldown room 
Canada has been an incredibly dramatic race this year. In a desperate fight against Hamilton Sebastian Vettel was penalized by 5 seconds, that’s why he missed the victory and took second place.

 

After Sebastian moved the P2 sign to Hamilton’s car in parc ferme, he joined teammate Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in the cooldown room, where drivers sit prior to the podium ceremony. The mood was more frosty than cool. That silence and awkwardness became the new meme: fans explained that scene like meeting of divorced parents, where Leclerc is a confused child...

 

 

Stuck in the elevator 
At the German Grand Prix drivers got stuck... in the elevator! Daniel Ricciardo shared a video where he and a few drivers, among whom was Roman Grosjean, Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Nico Hulkenberg, Pierre Gasly, Daniil Kvyat, Valtteri Bottas, were standing in the elevator and waited for it to work again. 

 

Interestingly, this isn’t the only case: last year some drivers are also got stuck in the elevator. Maybe it’s such an entertainment from the organizers of the Grand Prix?

Laugh out loud at the press-conference
At the British Grand Prix at the traditional press conference on Thursday, the drivers began to discuss recently given Sebastian Vettel a trend - a mustache. Lewis and Lando had discussed that they haven’t much hair on the face, as suddenly their conversation interrupted Daniel Ricciardo and asked Norris about... pubes. Lando was clearly not prepared for such frank questions, and he burst into a loud laugh that tears began to flow from his eyes.

 

Well done Baku! 
The racing weekend in Baku was one of the craziest of the season, especially dangerous moment with the drain cover, which because of the high speeds fell from the place. 

However, it was so funny to watch how it was fixed by Azerbaijanian marshals. One of them just jumped on the drain cover. That moment became one of the coolest memes of the Grand Prix of Baku. 

Compliments to the rival 
The Saturday's qualifying of the Canadian Grand Prix was very successful for Sebastian Vettel, he won the first pole position in the season. At the press conference, Sebastian was asked whether he fears his opponent, to which Vettel responded with a compliment to Lewis:
