Mercedes have dominated the 2020 season so far. They secured the record-breaking 7th consecutive Constructors’ title this year. The team is obviously doing their job on the grid. Meanwhile, Mercedes’ social media team is also doing their part to rally to the crew’s support.
All the drivers arrived in Istanbul ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix 2 days before the media day. All except Romain Grosjean, who happened to miss his flight to Istanbul.
Lewis Hamilton is set to win his record-equalling 7th World Championship at Istanbul. Mercedes posted a picture on Twitter of Lewis Hamilton taking a walk with Roscoe. However, the fans noticed some ‘red’ in the picture.

Mercedes take a hilarious dig at Ferrari
It is true that Ferrari have not been a worthy competitor this season. However, Mercedes and Ferrari have had a long-standing rivalry on the grid. The drivers and the team have long competed for the Drivers’ and Constructors’ championship.
Another fan pointed out the bright red Ferrari truck behind Hamilton and warned the silver arrows. The Mercedes team’s reply was absolutely hilarious.
Why? Ferrari is always behind Lewis.
