HILARIOUS Mercedes Wolff meme goes viral after double DNF

Internally, they are confident in their ability to rectify any issues with the all-new W15 concept brought this year, which has left them struggling for performance on-track.

Seeing the light side of a bad weekend

A disastrous Australian Grand Prix weekend was concluded when George Russell slammed into the barrier on the penultimate lap of the race – costing them at least six points.

It’s not the first time Russell has done that either, having crashed on the final lap of the Singapore GP last season when he was on for a podium finish.

Hamilton was forced to park his car up on lap 17 after an engine failure meaning that the Silver Arrows were left with nothing to show for their efforts in Melbourne.

Mercedes’ social media team saw the light side of the double DNF, posting a viral meme involving team principal Toto Wolff as part of a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
