New hashtag of F1: ''Are they going to protest again now?''
To add to the confusion, Formula 1 has decided that the hashtag for the Steiermark Grand Prix will just be #AustrianGP. This causes a lot of hilarity among the teams, who feel a protest coming from Red Bull Racing.
For the first time there are two Grands Prix in a row on the same circuit. Just like a circuit in the same country, the second Grand Prix has to be held under a different name. That's why the Styrian Grand Prix of Steiermark was inaugurated and so most expected the hashtag to be #StyrianGP.
Red Bull in protest
However, Formula 1 turns out to be as changeable as the weather, because when it comes to the hashtag the hashtag #AustrianGP is used, while it was already used for the Austrian Grand Prix last weekend. The teams can laugh about it and some are expecting a protest from Red Bull Racing.
The team of Max Verstappen is in the picture in this respect because during the Austrian Grand Prix it protested against the DAS system of Mercedes and after qualifying it also protested against Lewis Hamilton. Now Red Bull is the target of ridicule and they expect a protest, to make it #StyrianGP.
Taking this one to the stewards, guys. We know the way to their office pretty well at this point! @F1, please confirm!
