It’s RAWE CEEK!

Jokes aside, F1 fans would never have imagined Ferrari actually embracing their own meme, let alone poking fun at themselves. Turns out, Scuderia Ferrari, or the admin who runs their Twitter feed, does have a sense of humor.

Wondering what all the fuss over Rawe Ceek is, and why it’s so funny? Fear not, cause we’ve got you covered.

Ferrari finally get it right

For the uninitiated, in the buildup to the British Grand Prix, Ferrari decided to promote the race with a funny poster. Nothing new here, as several teams post some exquisite race week posters that build the hype around the event.

Ferrari posted an image with the words “Race Week” jumbled up. At first glance, it appeared as “Rawe Ceek”, which only egged fans on to troll the Italian team mercilessly. Surprising nobody, fans ridiculed the team’s strategists, who’ve been on the receiving end as of late.

Nevertheless, the loving Tifosi are quick to forgive (or are they?) and Ferrari decided to have a bit of fun ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. The Scuderia acknowledged its social media fumble and hilariously corrected it.

But the fun didn’t end there. A fan cheekily asked the team on Twitter if they’d been hacked by the Mercedes admin. Being one of the more “open” and easy-going teams in F1, Mercedes decided to join the party.

The Brackley-based outfit jokingly confessed to “hacking” Ferrari’s Twitter and even revealed the password! As you can read above, it wasn’t a very complicated key phrase.

Speaking of race week, F1 returns after a week-long absence to kick start another tripleheader in 2020. Fans can enjoy three more weeks of pure racing on some of the most beloved F1 tracks.

Teams will race In Spa-Francorchamps this weekend for the Belgian Grand Prix, followed by races in Monza and Imola.

Twitter banter aside, Ferrari has quite the challenge this weekend in trying to score any meaningful points. Unlike previous years, Ferrari doesn’t have the grunt to zoom ahead of the competition.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the team walks away without any points this weekend, given their engine struggles.
