Baby's Christmas present

This is something I've been thinking about because I just feel like it was so strange.

My daughter is 3 months old. My parents sent her a Christmas present. We opened it and it was a Lando Norris racing suit. Neither me or my husband follow F1, and my daughter certainly doesn't 😅 My father watches F1. My mother asked before if we wished for anything for Christmas and I said wooden toys, like a rattle or something.

I'm not terribly upset or anything, I just find it very strange!? Or would you give a themed present to a baby when you know the parents don't share that interest/hobby/sport?
