Mercedes F1 triggers a riot of laughter on Twitter with ‘Evil Bottas’ meme

One of the best things about Formula 1 is the way the teams interact with the fans. And a big chunk of that goes to the super fun admins of all the teams who manage their social media pages. It would be worth noting the social media administrator of the Mercedes F1 team who never missed an opportunity to share a meme about the team. And as expected, Mercedes jumped on the latest trend – the meme “The Evil Be Like”.

Mercedes posted this meme saying, Bad Valtteri be like – Whoever it is, I love you. This is an indication of when Valtteri won the Russian GP and silenced his critics. After crossing the finish line, he said on the radio, “Whom it might concern, f – you”

Fans didn’t disappoint either, with a slew of funny responses to the original tweet.

A reference to when a journalist named Walter Koster asked the drivers a minute-long question and at the end of the question everyone had completely forgotten what it was about. It turned out to be one of the biggest memes in Formula 1.

Really fun dig at Lewis Hamilton, this is an indication of when Lewis won his 7NS World title in Turkey 2020 and said he does it to show all the kids out there who are questioning themselves that if they work hard they can achieve what they dream of.

Another ditch at Mercedes, this one is a reference to the team orders that Mercedes gives Valtteri. You can hear James on Valtteri’s radio saying, “Valtteri, it’s James”. Every time Mercedes needs Valtteri to let Lewis pass.

The best meme, however, is one of Crofty’s iconic line “It’s light out and away we go”. This meme essentially refers to Spa for the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix when the lights never went out and we never got away.
