This driver received the most negative comments on Twitter in Australia

Lance Stroll had a colorless weekend in Australia. Once again he didn't score any points for Aston Martin and in qualifying he torpedoed Nicholas Latifi, probably because he wasn't looking closely in his mirrors. It led to many negative reactions on Twitter.

Stroll least popular driver

VegasInsider analyzed 67,800 tweets during the weekend of the Australian Grand Prix. What stood out was that Stroll overwhelmingly received the most negative comments. 50% of the 2,194 tweets addressed to the Canadian were negative. In addition, Stroll also received, on average, the most swear words thrown at his head. Of the more than 2,000 tweets, 19% contained a swear word.

It is notable that also Esteban Ocon (18% of 677 tweets) and George Russell (15% of 5,834 tweets) saw a lot of swearing back in tweets addressed to them. This while Ocon and Russell both had a fine weekend without any major incidents.

Positive outliers

Not unexpectedly, McLaren drivers Daniel Ricciardo (10% negative tweets from 2,716 tweets) and Lando Norris (12% negative tweets from 3,512) scored best. The two drivers have always been very popular among fans and for Ricciardo it was his home race. It was Yuki Tsunoda who received the least amount of swearing at his head on average. Only 5% of 164 tweets addressed to the Japanese contained a swear word.
