“Better Be a Rocket Ship Coming”: Lewis Hamilton & Co.’s Secrecy on Its Desperate F1 Gamble Leaves Fans Giving an Ultimatum

The story of the 2023 Formula 1 season is going to be defined by the outcomes of a developmental rat race. The field, barring Red Bull, is indeed very closely packed. However, there’s one team within that group that will feel like they don’t belong there. Mercedes has been the most dominant team in the history of this sport. However, a lack of form and a questionable design philosophy has pushed them into the midfield pack. With Lewis Hamilton breathing down their neck, can the Silver Arrows redeem themselves?

The Brackley-based team is fighting hard to make amends. Recently, they disclosed their plans of going down a different route in terms of the W14. Even though the team has announced its plans to overhaul the concept of the car, the specifics of the upgrades to be brought in the coming race weekends have been sparse, to say the least. Given the gravity of the situation and the fact that if this developmental gamble doesn’t pay off, Mercedes can be in big trouble; the fans want some insight into the future plans. But in a bid to pacify the Silver Arrows’ fans, the team took to its official Twitter handle to share a meme to lighten the mood.

The post has garnered a lot of reactions from the fans. Safe to say, the team succeeded in engaging with its fanbase. However, a lot of the fans were also in a speculative mood. Given the current situation, the team finds itself in, fans were also in a very demanding mood!

One fan even commented, “There better be a rocket ship coming out of that garage.”

The reactions coming from the fans on the internet have been mixed. While some have hyped the team up, others have been ridiculing them.

Other than that, it would appear that the social media team of Mercedes has played a handy tune in terms of hyping up the fans before this weekend’s Monaco GP.

It won’t be prudent to expect that an upgrade package will be brought to a specialized circuit such as Monaco. However, when the upgrades do come, do you think Mercedes can catch Red Bull up soon?
