No one is safe from meme culture, not even Formula 1. Over the years, the Instagram page of each team has shared reels based on a viral trend. This is highly noticed in Sauber F1’s Instagram team and now, other teams are also catching on. Besides the updates from Ferrari like Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz doing promotion videos, there is a lot going on in the world of social media. Red Bull is another such team known for its social media presence, and they’ve joined in for yet another trend.

Andy Rush, a Red Bull mechanic, made a viral video over the recent ‘hawk tuah’ trend that has been going viral for some time now. That’s when one Instagram user pointed out that he looks a little like Charles Leclerc. When the commenter asked the question, Rush’s reply gave a blunt but honest answer, captivating his fans. Let’s take a look at what he said.

Red Bull Mechanic wins the internet

Following the recent trend of using the viral “Hawk Tuah” reel as a skit, the Red Bull Mechanic explained how they have such clean pitstops. The post was captioned, “How do you keep your stops so clean? Hawk tuah, spit on that thing.” And this video put Andy Rush in the limelight, with over 50k likes on his post. In the clip, Rush is spotted sitting on the floor with a wheel gun, trying to show how he uses the ‘Hawk Tauh’ to keep the pitstop clean. One fan found a resemblance between the engineer and Ferrari’s driver Charles Leclerc and asked, “Charles Leclerc, what are you doing in Red Bull?” However, within mere moments, Rush silenced the note with his response to this comparison.

Just in 1 word, Rush broke the hearts of millions of Tifosis as he replied, “winning,” which was a jab at the fact that Red Bull is dominating the championships. As this is true, there isn’t much for anyone to say, but that is no reason for Tifosi’s to lose hope. While the team does look promising this year, let’s take a look at what might give Ferrari the edge over Red Bull.

How Ferrari can win the championship in 2024?

As of now, Ferrari is P2 in the constructors championship. The gap to Red Bull is now 50 points, something that can either increase or decrease in the upcoming race. Heading into Austria, Ferrari needs both of its drivers to end up on the podium for a positive result. Currently, Sergio Perez has not been performing well, and that’s why the margin is at 50 points.

Over the last 4 races, Perez has only scored 8 points. This is a result that no one expected from a driver in the RB20 based on how he started the season. Austria will give more chances to Ferrari to catch up as this will be a Sprint race weekend giving drivers more chances to score points. Max Verstappen is a difficult driver to beat, but both Ferrari drivers have won a race this season.

Ferrari will need to steal a few more race wins while hoping to have both their cars on the podium. Sergio Perez is currently behind both the Ferrari drivers in the driver’s championship and if the Scuderia continue to keep their pace, there are chances that Red Bull might have to worry about losing the constructors championship.
