“Just Like You Didn’t Expect a Podium” – Mercedes F1 Gets Roasted By KFC in Hysterical Twitter Banter

Mercedes F1 has a history of grilling everyone, not only on the track but on social media as well. While the team enjoys participating in sarcastic memes and banters, they can’t escape a good burn sometimes.

A recent post from American food outlet KFC engaged the Brackley team in a fun banter. Well, it’s safe to say the food company literally “served” it to them.

The eight-times Constructors’ champion’s Twitter account is a fun spot for many. Always a sport, the team thoroughly enjoys tagging several memes which might or might not involve them. Quite visibly, the English team enjoys a good sense of humor. Additionally, the team also tags and involves the drivers, including former teammate Valtteri Bottas being a high selling point for several memes.

KFC ends Mercedes in a funny Twitter banter

Twitter, always unforgiving, was quick to engage the team in a thread of memes. A recent picture that involved team principal Toto Wolff literally, trying to push his head in the car, was comically tweaked. Several memes have emerged out of it, and Toto memes are somehow always a sight to sore eyes. This particular picture involves him and debutant George Russell, where Toto can be seen almost very angrily looking at him and trying to say something. Well if it’s indeed about Bottas, then we already know what he’s saying, don’t we?

Wolff has always been a major attraction to memes. During the Abu Dhabi clash, the Austrian’s concerned words and reactions spread like wildfire. At this point, Toto and his infamous forehead deserve a podium of its own. Talking about podiums, KFC UK  visibly took a funny dig at  Mercedes F1 when it clapped back with “Just like you weren’t expecting podium on the weekend”.

The suave and beautiful W13 has been a subject of heavy porpoising. Drivers Lewis Hamilton and Russell could be seen shaking almost violently during the Bahrain GP. Though the team managed to grasp a 3-4, where Hamilton took the podium, they initially did not expect this. While many thought Mercedes were sandbagging, turns out, they were actually struggling heavily. Moreover, this year the team might have to struggle in the midfield if they don’t find a fix, and are incapable of matching the rivals’ pace.

Twitter or not, this is definitely a department fans want to see them make a comeback in.
