Mercedes and McLaren fan accounts involved in epic banter, Mercedes social media team joins in

Time and again we have stressed on the fact that the Mercedes social media team deserves a hike for the kind of work it has been doing on Twitter.

With a 2 week break between grand prix, the F1 fraternity has been looking for something to cling onto during this dull period and thanks to the unofficial fan accounts of Mercedes and McLaren, there has been some F1 related entertainment on social media.

The conversation started on Pirelli’s post, which stated the tyre choices of all drivers for the upcoming United States Grand Prix.

The McLaren duo had opted for a weird tyre selection, dramatically different from all other teams. With the soft, supersoft and ultrasoft tyres available for the grand prix weekend, most of the teams had opted for a good number of ultrasofts and only a few softs.

However, the McLaren drivers went in for a lot of softs and only a few ultrasofts, raising questions from a Mercedes fan account.

The McLaren fan account then jumped into, and the ride began.

A Bottas wingman dig followed.

Mercedes retaliated with a dig aimed at Vandoorne and his inability to enter Q2.

The conversation went on and on and that is when the Mercedes social media team spotted it and decided to swoop in and have a little fun of their own.

Thank you Mercedes for the action on and off the track, especially on social media.
