Hamilton and Leclerc give Ferrari’s social media a playful makeover

For a short spell on Thursday in Singapore, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc used Ferrari’s social-media accounts to post images and videos on Instagram and X. They played with camera filters, changed the team’s profile picture to a selfie, commented on other drivers’ posts and interacted with fans.

Ferrari responded with a light-hearted message, saying two people within the organisation had gained unauthorised control of its channels. The team said the two suspects had been identified, the situation contained and full control of the accounts restored.
