Formula 1 teams have a knack for trying to outdo each other on their various social media platforms. Press day, which takes place three days before the Bahrain Grand Prix, is a special occasion where drivers have the opportunity to interact with fans, participate in press conferences, and create content for their team’s social media accounts.
During this unique day, passionate fans capture and share photos and videos of these moments, reminiscing about the past. It is during these moments that one can witness the camaraderie between drivers from different teams. Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly are a perfect example of a duo who enjoy spending time together on and off the track.
While fans admire their friendship, Alpine took advantage of this press day to create content that would go viral on social media. While Alpine’s drivers interacted with fans on stage, the two Ferrari drivers joined them. However, their attempt at a handshake didn’t go as planned, providing Alpine with the perfect opportunity to mock them on social media. A video was posted, showing Leclerc and Gasly’s failed handshake, with the word “Wasted” humorously displayed. This marks the beginning of the competition for the best meme of the season.
After spending three years together at Ferrari, Leclerc and Gasly have developed a strong bond. Their friendship is beloved by the Tifosi, and they are known for their sense of humor. As they embark on their fourth season together, their bond is strengthening before Sainz replaces Gasly at Ferrari in 2025. During a press conference, Leclerc expressed his gratitude for their friendship.
Fans are already touched by this sincere message and hope that their chemistry remains the same throughout the 24 races they have ahead together. As the season progresses, fans can expect more fun content and antics from this dynamic duo.
