Red Bull Faced Huge Facepalm Moment As Lewis Hamilton Steals Away Their Special Guest in Monaco GP

Red Bull Racing has recently been subjected to enormous trolling on the internet after they reportedly brought in Lewis Hamilton fans in Monaco. As the defending champions brought Neymar Jr. and Tom Holland into the Red Bull garage in Monaco, trolls gave them a facepalm moment as Hamilton stole the limelight.

Monaco is a race venue that has enormous celebrity presence through the years, and this year’s GP has been no different. With multiple celebrities arriving at the circuit, this time around, Neymar Jr. and Tom Holland stole the show.

However, things began to fall apart when the fans uncovered that Holland is a Hamilton fan. Despite having arrived with a Red Bull paddock pass, the British actor’s loyalty to his compatriot made the Milton-Keynes-based team a laughingstock.

Admittedly, the seven-time world champion is undoubtedly the most famous driver in the sport right now. With millions of fans worldwide both in person and on social media, the Briton is a step ahead of everyone else in the cult following.

Fans react as Red Bull brought Hamilton fans

Neymar Jr, who shares a brotherhood bond with the 38-year-old driver, has always been supportive of him. Despite siding with the champions, he also had a weird choice to go with Hamilton and Verstappen both.

But Holland was firm with his choice. He has always been a Hamilton stan and his choice didn’t change in the 2023 Monaco GP. Nevertheless, here are some of the reactions taken from Twitter:

A fan named Val landed the first blow on Red Bull

Another fan named Elle revealed that everyone is a Hamilton fan.

A fan named Sofia hailed Holland as the main Spider-Man for his choice.

Hamilton’s sky-high popularity in F1

Statistically, the man from Stevenage is the face of the sport worldwide. Even though Max Verstappen has taken F1 by storm or Charles Leclerc has been around quite some time, by no means the Mercedes maestro has lost his cult following.

Apart from having an enormous fan base all around the world, Lewis Hamilton is quite famous among celebrities as well, as seen in this year’s Monaco GP, where he had more fans than a team combined.

The British star, so far, managed to pull Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Tom Brady, LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, and many more in Mercedes paddock over the years.
