Mercedes Hilariously Question Max Verstappen’s 2022 Title Claim in a Fight for Their Own Championship

Max Verstappen has finally put his label on the 2022 world driver’s championship after an eventful Japanese GP. With the driver’s championship wrapped up, we have another one to go. The constructors’ championship also looks set to be Red Bull’s this year. However, every position in the standings matters, with Mercedes and Ferrari fighting for the second spot.

Every jump in the position in the constructors’ championship is a massive boost for a team. The teams earn tens of millions of dollars with every position they gain in the constructor’s standings. Mercedes is well aware of the benefits of finishing higher in the championship, having won it eight consecutive times already.

Even though the Brackley-based outfit is well out of the reach of a win, they will push to get ahead of Ferrari. However, while the two teams battle it out in the constructors’ championship, Mercedes’s social media team is winning elsewhere.

Mercedes’s Twitter team is possibly the most active compared to the rest of the grid. There has been proof of that on multiple occasions. So when Matt Gallagher, host of WTF1, asked, “Social media team championship suggestions?” via a tweet, the Mercedes twitter admin was quick to respond with a hilarious reply as usual.

Mercedes’s Twitter handle replied, “Will the teams be receiving full social media championship points?”.
