Red Bull Racing, Mercedes and Racing Point made fun of each other after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix won by Max Verstappen. The social media team from the race team of Christian Horner and Helmut Marko reacted to a post from Mercedes, but they got a nice counter to deal with.

After Mercedes placed a photo of some donuts that were finished, Red Bull reacted sharply with a reference to Racing Point. Racing Point drove last season's Mercedes car this season and that came in for a lot of criticism from other teams early this year. "Retirement? Racing Point, your 2021 car is ready for collection," Red Bull wrote.

When Matt Gallagher (known from WTF1) responds it is Mercedes that counters the message of the Austrian team: "Red Bull is turning up late again." Also Racing Point replies.
