'Elon Musk has infiltrated Formula 1' - F1 Twitter's best Austrian GP memes
'Elon Musk has infiltrated Formula 1' - F1 Twitter's best Austrian GP memes
On a weekend where Elon Musk drove Twitter users insane by introducing "Rate Limits" the Austrian Grand Prix was marred by endless track limits penalties.
Those penalties did not affect Max Verstappen as he won his fifth race in a row, even gambling on a late pit stop to get the extra point for the fastest lap.
Twitter's new data limits mean that unverified users can only see 1,000 tweets in a 24-hour period, meaning that many F1 fans may have missed out on some of the funniest social media posts during the race.
Luckily we're on hand to compile some of the best from a chaotic race at the Red Bull Ring where almost everyone went home with a free five-second penalty.
Team radio messages were tense as Lewis Hamilton was frustrated thinking he was being singled out for exceeding the track limits, while Lando Norris was the school snitch reporting others for breaking the rules.
Here are F1 Twitter's best Austrian GP memes:
