“You already know it. Thank you for visiting, Ben Stiller, ”wrote Ferrari, thanking the actor.
The Mercedes team also used social media to share their experience with the actor in the paddock. They wrote: “Toto:” Will you challenge me to a walk-off? ”
Stiller had previously trolled Lewis Hamilton on social media and asked him to slow down in a comedic sketch. He also asked him to join his dodgeball team.
“Hey, Lewis Hamilton. Slow down for a second. Do you think Formula 1 is high octane? Try to dodge balls thrown at your pretty, pretty face. Join my squad or you and your well-groomed boy beard will face the consequences, ”said Stiller.
