'Verstappen should try to get penalties!' – F1 Twitter's best Spanish GP memes
'Verstappen should try to get penalties!' – F1 Twitter's best Spanish GP memes
Max Verstappen picked up the third Grand Slam of his career as he comfortably won the 2023 Spanish Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver finished 24 seconds clear of Lewis Hamilton to claim his fifth win of the season, with the only blot on his copybook being a late black-and-white flag where he was warned about exceeding track limits.
Verstappen received no penalty for the infraction, but many fans on F1 Twitter joked that even with five penalties, he would still win the race, encouraging the Dutchman to pick up penalties to make the race more interesting.
The other main talking point from the Spanish GP was George Russell confusing his own sweat for rain as he thought the drops he saw on his visor were stormy weather approaching the course.
Here are some of F1 Twitter's best memes from the Spanish GP:
I think Max Verstappen should just try to get penalties at this point. Do some unlawful shit. See what the stewards give you. You’ll still win
