F1 Fans Vexed as Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk Mark Their Presence at McLaren and Red Bull Pit Wall

Amidst the third free practice session at the Miami GP, the attention of the fans has slightly shifted as they spot billionaires Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk at McLaren and Red Bull pit walls. F1 Fans do not seem to be happy with their presence at the track as they have resorted to throwing shade at the two entrepreneurs.

Some of the fans pointed out that since Ferrari is sponsored by AWS, shouldn’t Bezos be spending time in the Ferrari garage? Meanwhile, some of the other fans opined that “it used to be a motorsport, not a please billionaires sport.”

Following their appearance, some fans even hilariously speculated “a Tesla F1 team” while others said that McLaren CEO Zak Brown is looking to bring in more sponsors through Bezos.

Some of the fans on social media also reported that Musk was also spotted chatting with F1 chief Stefano Domenicali. While speaking to Sky Sports, Horner explained that Musk was present at the paddock at the invitation of Larry Ellison, chairman of Red Bull’s title sponsor Oracle.

One fan also quipped that Bezos is teaching McLaren how to deliver as the team struggles through another rough season.

Meanwhile one of the fans went to the extent of thinking that they might have to change their allegiance to the Ferrari seeing Musk hanging out with Red Bull boss Christian Horner.
