“Wtf stop it you have no right,” F1 Twitter reacts to Red Bull’s hilarious tweet which was aimed as a dig at Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc
The Italian Grand Prix had its fair share of drama with an unpredictable retirement from Daniel Ricciardo at the end which brought out the safety car and the race ended under it. Charles Leclerc wasn’t happy about it but Red Bull and Max Verstappen were overjoyed as they literally cruised to victory in Ferrari’s home ground which did upset a lot of the Tifosi.
Pole sitter Charles Leclerc got away well at the start and managed to pull ahead of George Russell in P2 but Max who had started in 7th was gaining on him. Ultimately after a bunch of pit stops to try out different strategies, Charles was 17 seconds behind Max with a few laps remaining when a safety car was triggered by Daniel Ricciardo.
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the McLaren could not be removed off track quickly which resulted in the race finishing under the safety car. Max Verstappen simply cruised to victory while Charles finished in P2 which was a disappointing result for the tifosi as they expected him to win.
After the race, Red Bull put out a post on twitter which said that Max won in Spa, Zandvoort and in Monza which was a factual post but everyone knew that it was a cheeky dig on Charles Leclerc referring to his victory in Italy in 2019 when the commentator said something similar as he crossed the finish line. The Red Bull fans loved it but the Tifosi who had just suffered defeat did not take it well.

With the defeat that Charles Leclerc had to suffer on Ferrari’s home ground, the Tifosi were mad at the FIA too for not giving them at least a lap of racing action. Although it is without a doubt that this is what could have happened in Abu Dhabi and many fans said that this was boring.
For a finale like last year, it feels like it was necessary to have at least one lap of racing action. With Monza done and dusted, next destination is Singapore where Max could possibly clinch the title.
