Mercedes Social Media Goes Off the Hook as Attacks Unleash on Fans

Despite being one of the fastest cars on the track, Lewis Hamilton suffered a heartbreaking outcome in Canada. The Brit couldn’t capitalize on his pace in qualifying with a late gust of wind. In the race, after gaining positions and finally overtaking his Mercedes teammate for the last podium place, George Russell fought back and secured P3 for himself.

The fans criticized the team’s decision to give a less favorable strategy to the seven-time champion. These feelings were expressed on social media. However, the Mercedes Instagram admin went off the hook and unleashed fury in the comments. Now, the news and the reactions are spreading like wildfire.

Mercedes‘ decision to put Hamilton on less favorable tires highlighted the speculated bias within the team. In fact, the bias has been evident since Monaco which the 39-year-old subtly pointed out.

The intra-team tensions were on full display during Toto Wolff’s post-race radio interaction in Montreal with his old friend. These incidents have not gone unnoticed by the fans. So, when the team posted an update about Russell on the podium, the fans did not hold back.

The Lewis Hamilton army was in full force as they took over the comments section of the post. The fans ranted about the continued supposed favoritism toward the young Brit. The criticism got to a point where the admin started blasting the comments with “passive-aggressive” replies. Now, the replies from the admin were deleted but the news spread across social media

It reached Twitter (now X) as well with the LH army expressing a similar level of condemnation. The fans started criticizing the team and expressing their eagerness for Hamilton’s Ferrari move.
