The Formula 1 teams have a knack for trying to outdo each other on their various social media platforms. Press day, which took place three days before the Bahrain Grand Prix, is a special occasion where drivers have the opportunity to engage with fans, attend press conferences, and create content for their team’s social media accounts.
During this unique day, passionate fans capture and share pictures and videos of these moments, reminiscing about the past. It’s during these moments that one can witness the camaraderie between drivers from different teams. Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly are a prime example of such a pair who enjoy spending time together both on and off the track.
While fans admire their friendship, Alpine took advantage of this press day to create content that would go viral on social media. As Alpine drivers interacted with fans on stage, the two Ferrari drivers joined in. However, their attempt at a handshake didn’t go as planned, providing Alpine with the perfect opportunity to roast them on social media. A video was posted, showcasing Leclerc and Gasly’s failed handshake, with the word “Wasted” displayed humorously. This marks the beginning of the competition for the best meme of the season.
After spending three years together at Ferrari, Leclerc and Gasly have developed a strong bond. Their friendship is beloved by Tifosi, and they are known for their sense of humor. As they embark on their fourth season together, their bond is growing stronger before Sainz replaces Gasly at Ferrari in 2025. During a press interview, Leclerc expressed his appreciation for their friendship.
Fans are already touched by this heartfelt message and are hopeful that their chemistry will remain the same throughout the 24 races they have left together. As the season progresses, fans can expect more entertaining content and mischievous antics from this dynamic duo.
