F1 News: Haas and Tesla Collide in Hilarious Tweet

The Haas team poked fun at the newly-introduced Twitter limits during the Austrian Grand Prix.

Rather than the weather being a challenge, it rained penalties at the Austrian GP last weekend. Race Control fired penalties at several drivers who went beyond track limits. The list included Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz who received five-second penalties. 

Yuki Tsunoda received a ten-second penalty for his offenses whereas Haas driver Kevin Magnussen saw five seconds added to his time. It was as if Race Control had put on a pair of special glasses that was able to take note of even the smallest of mistakes. 

Haas' clever social media team decided to link this 'strict nannying' with Twitter's set limits of how many posts one can read in a day. Elon Musk has placed a temporary limit on Twitter to the number of posts a person can view in a single day. 

Haas mocked restrictions that came from both ends by sharing a graphic of a Twitter screenshot that reads 'Track limit exceeded' with the post description being:

"Lap 67/71: Unfortunately Kevin is handed a five-second penalty."

If you thought this was funny, wait until you read the reply they posted to their own tweet.

"Hopefully some of you had enough tweets left today to see this…"

Hopefully some of you had enough tweets left today to see this…

Fans had a great time replying to this tweet. While many praised the admin for the creativity, many hopped on the same train to make fun of Race Control. 

The admin deserves a hefty raise, just for this tweet alone.
