The best tweets from the weekend special Eifel Grand Prix
The idea is simple: relive the Eifel Grand Prix and Lewis Hamilton's victory through the super Tweets. Here is a selection of the funniest tweets from teams, drivers, and people like you and me.
The race weekend started smoothly, with no timing on Friday due to the rain, and a little nod from Red Bull to Mercedes. Two weeks after Sochi, Lewis Hamilton couldn’t miss the test zone at the pit exit this time.

At the Nürburgring, we also witnessed yet another comeback for Nico Hülkenberg at Racing Point! Lance Stroll, who was unwell, had to hand over his seat to the German driver.

Otmar a parlé de Lance:
“La nuit dernière, il avait un peu mal au ventre. Il était donc aux ???? tout le temps. Et il a dit: « Je me suis débarrassé de beaucoup de liquide et je ne peux pas quitter les toilettes suffisamment longtemps pour monter dans la voiture. » #EifelGP #F1 pic.twitter.com/PCUA6AyUDz— Au Rupteur (@AuRupteur) October 10, 2020

A weekend of all records:
It’s official: Lewis Hamilton has matched Michael Schumacher in the number of F1 victories! An emotional moment after the race, Mick Schumacher, son of the seven-time German world champion, personally handed him his helmet.
