Red Bull Racing has stirred up a light-hearted exchange with the McLaren team just days ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort. The Austrian outfit has responded to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's team on social media in a very playful manner.
The McLaren team earlier posted a message on X on the Wednesday before the race weekend in the Dutch dunes with the text: “The Dutch capital is turning papaya,” with a photo of a McLaren fan and a Lando Norris fan. Red Bull Racing responded with a photo of hundreds of Orange- and hence Max Verstappen-fans, with the text: ‘dream on,’ followed by a kiss.
