Christmas is fast approaching, and Santa Claus should not only reward children around the world, but also race car drivers -- even though some of them (mostly in NASCAR's Sprint Cup) have been fairly naughty this year.

Of course, many would like nothing more than a chance to compete for a spot on a team -- or even better, the necessary resources to become the next champion.

Let's have a little fun and guess what Santa might bring various drivers in all three major series. You know, next season is coming soon, and they could use some special presents...

Formule 1
McLaren: The return of Adrian Newey;
Sebastian Vettel: Brand new alternators (not reconditioned);
Michael Schumacher: A big pillow and a pair of slippers;
Pastor Maldonado: Full-size mirrors;
Romain Grosjean: An eye exam, along with customized driving glasses.

IndyCar
Will Power: A bit more luck;
James Hinchcliffe: A first win;
Simona de Silvestro: A tryout with an F1 team;
Jean Alesi: A real IndyCar engine.

NASCAR
Jeff Gordon: Boxing gloves;
Brad Keselowski: A cell phone mount;
Tony Stewart: A healthy dose of patience;
Danica Patrick: An XL rear bumper.

On that note, I wish you all a happy holiday season with your loved ones. And drive safe!
