Red Bull hits back and makes fun of Mercedes on social media

The bickering back and forth between Red Bull Racing and Mercedes has erupted once again following the Mexico Grand Prix. This time, however, it's not about Toto Wolff, Helmut Marko and Christian Horner, but about the social media teams of the rival teams.

Mercedes was already involved in the discussion about Yuki Tsunoda's qualifying on Saturday, as he was said to have hindered Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. Over the course of the weekend, the team's Twitter activity was marked by liking a number of negative comments directed at Verstappen and Red Bull.

This activity continued on Monday. While there was initially silence in the Red Bull camp, the social media team came back with a not-so-small stab under water. On Monday night, a video appeared showing a replay of the start, with Valtteri Bottas being tapped by Daniel Ricciardo.

The team saw an opportunity here: Ricciardo is considered an old friend due to his history with the team, and Red Bull took the opportunity to reference a Beatles song, 'With A Little Help From My Friends'.
