F1 Takes Over Twitter With Enthusiastic ‘Rawe Ceek’ Tweets

Let’s be honest, the three-week F1 summer break has felt like forever. However, the wait is over; the hype is back. Drivers, teams, fans, everyone is more than ready for the Belgian Grand Prix.

It’s the beginning of a new week, with a weekend of some guaranteed wheel-to-wheel action. It’s Race Week! Or better yet, it’s Rawe Ceek.

A well-known phrase to anyone who loves the sport, it’s a beautiful sight watching F1 Twitter blow up with the line Rawe Ceek with the line. You know the excitement has been bubbling up when the fans bring out the memes to the site.

The upcoming triple-header makes up for the dry summer break, with trips to Spa, the Netherlands, and Monza. A closer look at the schedule and a quick count also shows that we will be having six races in the coming seven weeks. That’s a lot of racing.

The only three words one likes to hear on a Monday morning: “It’s race week.” But what is Rawe Ceek and why does Twitter go gaga over it?

The credit goes to Ferrari and its graphic designer. To hype the 2020 British GP, Ferrari tweeted the same old date and time details, with a very interesting poster attached to it. Simply, “Race Week,” at first glance the words looked like “Rawe Ceek.”

Very quickly it became a meme, with other F1 teams using the term again. Over a year later, the inside joke lives on.

Keeping aside the hype over the coming race weekend, the race week in itself has so many small goodies to offer. Media Day on Thursday, hopefully giving us some drama and tension heading into the weekend. Friday’s practice session allowing the fans to get an insight into what could happen in Saturday’s qualifying- which sets the grid for Sunday.

Sunday- the glorious race day. Two hours of drama on top, in the midfield, and even at the bottom of the grid. A lot has happened in the season so far, with the intense rivalry between the championship contenders and their teams; the rise of drivers like Lando Norris and George Russell; the strong veterans in Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso.

The season has given us so much, and it continues to give. This weekend is sure to be another exciting event, just a few more days to go. Till then, Happy Race Week!
