Racing Bulls has made a joke at the expense of Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari, sharing an image of new driver Isack Hadjar on social media draped in a photoshopped coat.
The image is a play on the photo the seven-time F1 drivers’ champion shared earlier in the day, where he dressed in a pinstriped suit with a double-breasted coat over his shoulders. The caption also borrows from Hamilton, paraphrasing directly from the 40-year-old’s own post.
That was to mark his first official day working for Ferrari. The British driver has joined the Scuderia in pursuit of his eighth title. The Italian team will be looking to claim the constructors’ crown also, having not done so since 2008.
Hadjar, meanwhile, will have far more modest expectations of his debut F1 season. The Frenchman joins Yuki Tsunoda at Racing Bulls.
He will want to cement his future in the championship with strong showing as part of a packed rookie class.
The 19-year-old is one of six drivers embarking on their first full-time season in F1, including Red Bull driver Liam Lawson and Kimi Antonelli, who has replaced Hamilton at Mercedes.
