F1 Twitter's best Italian Grand Prix memes

F1 Twitter was full of mischief after the Italian Grand Prix as numerous memes emerged about the safety car finish which saw Max Verstappen win ahead of Charles Leclerc.

The Formula 1 community had a mixed response to the end of the race, but despite the controversy, the memes continued to pour out on Twitter as fans poked fun at Daniel Ricciardo's late DNF and the resulting anti-climatic finale in Monza.

Earlier in the race, F1 Twitter poked fun at Sergio Perez's brakes overheating and then Ferrari's strategising, but by the end, Plan A, B or C was irrelevant as all cars drove the last few laps behind the Aston Martin safety car.

Here are some of the best memes from the Italian Grand Prix at Monza:
