Ladies and gentlemen hold onto your trophies because we’ve got quite the mischief unfolding off the track! Just when you thought the trophy-breaking shenanigans and the silly season were over, we have found the perfect end to a not-so-juicy silly season. It all began with a single tweet, a seemingly innocent screenshot that ignited a frenzy of emotions among the Lando Norris army.
Picture this: a meme, a single meme that managed to encapsulate a web of connections between trophies, mischievous grins, and financial follies. It’s no secret that McLaren‘s Lando Norris and Red Bull‘s Max Verstappen share a unique friendship, one that’s seen both on and off the track. But what happens when that camaraderie collides with a trophy worth a small fortune? Or should we say, collides with ‘another’ trophy!
