Twitter loves the Bottas-coffee bromance

As always, Bottas knows how to stir the internet. Twitter loved the meme cross-referencing and even brought back memories of the Mercedes driver and his beloved coffee.

Some even brought some painful memories for the driver. Like that one time, he spilled his liquid gold over his white jumpsuit… that was a close one!

Others made some very interesting and creative coffee jokes. Bottas has a secret second love- his porridge. While porridge found its way into the jokes, there was also this very well-crafted pun…

Further, Alpha Romeo featured in multiple tweets as well. However, while some were jokes, many were worried that they won’t see much of this content next year. The Mercedes twitter admin has become popular over the last season, with ruthless jokes and well-thought-of content. Especially small things like Valtteri Bottas TikToks. One can only hope Alpha Romeo will take good care of our internet sensation.
