Remember the 2017 Hungarian GP, we witnessed a fiery confrontation between Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg. Hulkenberg, eager to surge ahead, attempted a daring overtake on Magnussen, the tension escalated as the 2 drivers battled for supremacy. Magnussen, in his Haas, had no intention of relinquishing his position easily. The tension grew thicker with each turn, and then, K-Mag’s forceful defense pushed Nico Hulkenberg onto the grass, an act that earned him a 5-second penalty. But it wasn’t just the penalty that stole the spotlight.

Amidst the heat of the moment, the two drivers exchanged words that echoed far beyond the racetrack. Hulkenberg criticized Magnussen’s sportsmanship, labeling him “unsporting.” The Dane’s response, delivered on live TV, was a brash and memorable retort: “Suck my b***s, honey.” Those words set social media on fire, turning into a meme that’s still kicking around today. It’s like the race drama just couldn’t resist spilling over into real-life drama.

But don’t let the calm fool you. Those unforgettable words from that unforgettable day still echo through the paddocks. Oscar Piastri when asked about his favorite F1 meme, chuckles and replies, “Suck my b***s, that was quite funny… there’s a lot of other good ones, some I probably can’t say,” pointing to the infamous exchange which has now become a lasting moment.
