Red Bull News: F1 Team Under Fire As They're Labelled Hypocrites For Social Media Post

Red Bull's latest post has not gone down well with fans.

Red Bull have posted to Twitter a photo of the moment Max Verstappen overtook Lewis Hamilton at the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and it is safe to say it has not gone down well on social media. 

Fans have been quick to call the team out for their post, after they recently posted that the toxicity needs to be removed from social media platforms.

@danielantunes brought Michael Masi into it when he wrote, sarcastically:

"You should have mentioned Masi, unfair to leave him out of this achievement"

Masi was the race director at the time of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and subsequently stepped down from the role for his decision to only let some of the lapped cars unlap themselves under the safety car.

@HenryENTR wrote "thanks to Checo" alluding to the ongoing drama from the Brazilian Grand Prix last weekend when Verstappen refused to follow team orders to let Sergio Perez (Checo) past in order to help him achieve second place in the driver's championship. 

Thanks to Checo 👍🏻

The F1 is heading to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend where the 2022 season will be wrapping up. Things are very different going into the race this year as Max Verstappen has already won, however the battle for second continues between his teammate Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc who are both going into the race on 290 points. 

Red Bull have already won the constructor's championship for this year but Mercedes and Ferrari are still competing for second place. Ferrari are currently ahead of Mercedes on the leader board, however, Mercedes have seen some great improvement over the last few races whereas Ferrari have been struggling with power unit issues.
