It’s no secret that Mercedes F1 has one of the best social media accounts out there. The Silver Arrows social media administrators are every bit as good as their drivers and the entire team in general. The German team just wants to be the best in every area, it seems. In their latest post, they join the bandwagon of a popular trend by making Lewis Hamilton the central theme while photographing the 7-time world champion’s critics.

The larger measure shows off all of the rather ridiculous and mind-boggling accomplishments of Hamilton. While another minor measure claiming he’s the greatest F1 driver of all time.
In essence, the tweet showed that while he is statistically the best driver for the sport, there are very few who claim he is the best ever. In fact, critics often tarnish everything he’s accomplished by pointing out that he did all of this while riding the best machine on the grid. A fellow competitor also claims its dominance made the sport a bit boring.
Mercedes wasn’t the only one to join this trend, including Ferrari
The strong rival of the Brackley-based outfit, Ferrari, has also implemented this trend. In contrast to Mercedes, however, both drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, could be seen.

For Leclerc, the tweet claims a certain percentage of him is Lord Percival, a slightly larger percentage is Leclerc a seasoned padel player, and a third measure relates to him as the youngest Scuderia rider to win a race.

As for Sainz, chili, golfer, and a smooth operator are all all part of his personality. All of these are references to certain famous incidents relating to the Spaniard.
Ferrari wasn’t really known for its social media game. But they have been increasing lately since the beginning of the 2021 season. It will be interesting to see if another team joins these two to copy the trend.
