The Sakhir Grand Prix was a roller coaster ride for the entire Mercedes Camp. Eventually, neither car made it up to the podium, despite being the front runners for a majority of the race. George Russell made a splash of a debut but ultimately had to settle for P9 because of poor luck.

The tense weekend exhausted the Mercedes Twitter handle. Maintaining a steady supply of news about every detail and update, they naturally had a busy few hours. However, it is unlike them to compromise on their humor and tricks.

The admin had posted a video with a sweet message for the fans. They expressed their gratitude to the fans for supporting them and were about to call it a day. However, one fan replied, confessing to misreading ‘Cheers’ as ‘Charles.’ With Lewis and Mercedes already tight on contract issues, the setting for a prank was perfect.

The admin soon replied to the user stating that,” Charles [Leclerc] to Mercedes confirmed.” As much as many parties on the paddock would have loved this to be true, this was, indeed, a nasty dig at Lewis Hamilton fans.

This soon turned into a lively exchange and the Mercedes Twitter page lit up with colorful replies from all over. Even after a rather discouraging Sakhir Grand Prix, the party never ends on Mercedes AMG’s Twitter.

Lewis Hamilton is presently fighting the virus that the entire world has been dealing with since December 2019. Although the Briton was last updated to be healthy, he could not appear for the Sakhir Grand Prix. Mercedes offered a chance to George Russell and the Williams driver grabbed it swiftly.

The race saw George Russell assume podium places two times. However, destiny did not favor the Briton, although he pushed with his entire might. Even after the safety car restart, Russell did fight all the way up from P8 to P2; yet it was simply not his day.
