This came just hours after the real Lewis Hamilton missed out on a great chance to win the Azerbijan grand prix on Sunday.
After taking the lead in the race, Hamilton’s car malfunctioned and he finished in 15th place, collecting zero points.
TVP referenced the race in a separate post earlier that day.

It read: “Car now seized and the driver gaining more points then Lewis Hamilton today.”
