Mercedes Take a Cheeky Dig at Red Bull Following Honda’s Shock Exit News

Mercedes is no slouch on the track, winning races in continuity. The team currently tops the Constructors’ Standings, and will most likely seal their seventh straight Championship.

But what you might not know is about their strong game on social media. Known for their funny replies and witty banter, many users have appreciated the team’s sense of humor.

Mercedes posts in response to Verstappen speculation

It was speculated that Max Verstappen had briefly unfollowed Red Bull’s account on Instagram. But at the time of checking, that was not the case, and he was still following them.

Regardless, Mercedes caught hold of the opportunity and took to Twitter to post some pictures. These images were that of their drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas following the team’s account.

Mercedes is used to posting such witty responses and posts on social media. Earlier last week, they had a little fun which revolved around Valtteri Bottas’ bee comments at Sochi.

The platforms have given an opportunity to further close the gap between sporting entities and supporters. And safe to say, Mercedes is making brilliant usage of that, which also earns them plaudits.

Glory and dominance is the name of the game for Mercedes

The German manufacturer’s team knows how to play hard and work harder though. Absolutely motivated in their objective of excellence, they show no signs of backing off.

Mercedes is far in the distance with 366 points in the team standings. Nearest rival Red Bull Racing has 192 points, showing how they have taken control of proceedings this season.

The cars designed are quite efficient as well. In an age where power unit failures are common, Mercedes has not had that problem so far this season. That, in itself, is an impeccable achievement.

Bar Valtteri Bottas’ P11 in the 70th anniversary race in Silverstone, Mercedes’ cars have picked up points finishes on every other occasion.

The upcoming race in Nurburgring on October 11 would be special for Lewis Hamilton. Having missed the opportunity to equal Michael Schumacher’s 91 wins record in Sochi, he will have a second crack at it in the Eifel Grand Prix.

And if the stars align for Hamilton, he could equal that milestone in Schumacher’s home country. Stranger things have happened in the sport, but Mercedes winning races is definitely not one.
