F1 Social Media Plunged Into Conspiracy As They Post Max Verstappen Win As Austrian GP Began

Australian Grand Prix's Twitter account announced Max Verstappen's victory after just one lap.

Now this could be a bomb of news for 'F1 conspiracy theorists' and fans who like to go with the version that the sports' results are fixed in advance. The official Twitter account of the F1 Australian Grand Prix created a post stating:

KING OF THE RED BULL RING!

@Max33Verstappen

charged home to victory in a dominant effort in Spielberg 

The post also contained a graphic image of Verstappen and his F1 car alongside a text stating "#AustrianGP 1st".

Surprisingly, the account uploaded the post when the race was still in progress and the cars had just completed one lap of the race. Call it a coincidence? Astrological prediction or time travel?

Fans on Twitter posted hilarious reactions. Some even joked that the time difference meant Australia witnessed the race first so they knew the race result. 

The Australian GP account replied to the same tweet twice, the first one being: 

"oops! this wasn't meant to tweet just yet..."

The second reply stated: 

"might just leave it up anyway tbh"

might just leave it up anyway tbh

Ruining the party a lot might be having already, the post uploaded by the official Twitter account of the Australian Grand Prix is a joke aimed at the fact that Verstappen takes the trophy home at the end of every race. 

'Going with the trend' that the Red Bull racer has set for a long time, the similarity in the outcome of every race has become frustrating and boring for many F1 enthusiasts. The Twitter post aims to stress that point in particular. 

The two replies to the post indicate that it doesn't matter if you announce it before the race or after it. There's no one else right now that can come near that RB19 Formula 1 car and prevent Verstappen from winning.

The Twitter post received all kinds of responses from fans. One fan claimed that the "Aussies living in the future i guess we're all time travelers."
