Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is doing quite poorly in the 2024 season. Lewis Hamilton is constantly finding him in the midfield, barely holding on for points. George Russell, Hamilton’s teammate, is currently at P7 and the Silver Arrows fans are extremely unhappy with the situation.

To pour salt into their wounds, the official X page for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team took to the platform to share a meme that was not quite liked by hardcore fans. The post got a lot of confused or negative responses, which demonstrates how the fans are not ready to accept the state the team is in.

The meme showcased a picture of the W15 stating, “If you don’t love me at my: [image of the W15], then you don’t deserve me at my: [image of the W11 from 2020].” This post set Mercedes fans into a frenzy, as many were unhappy with the team acknowledging their downfall.

Mercedes has accumulated many fans during their dominant period, with Lewis Hamilton winning back-to-back world champions. Team Lewis Hamilton is quite strong, and many members did not find this joke funny. An echo of distress and sarcasm surrounded the comments section with many Silver Arrow fans unhappy with the meme.

Mercedes fans react to the team’s latest meme with Lewis Hamilton set to leave

Following the Japanese Grand Prix, Mercedes made a meme to boost the morale of their fans, as both drivers from the team scored minimal points. But that plan backfired when fans started showcasing their frustration in the comments section. The quote represents a relationship joke and, continuing on that sentiment, one user asked Mercedes, “What have you done for me lately.” Although sarcastic, the comment must have hurt the team to see their loyal fans turn their back on them.

This user compared Lewis Hamilton’s recent era in F1 to their relationships with their exes by talking about how Hamilton left after 3 years of the team disappointing him.
