After the Mario Kart comment in Australia… Ferrari decided to joke about it again in Shanghai.
In its increasingly effective communication strategy, Formula 1 has managed to turn even simple exchanges between engineers and drivers into iconic moments. Team radios have become a true staple of the paddock.
One of those radios in Australia made millions of viewers laugh. During his battle with George Russell, Charles Leclerc described the new Formula 1 as being “like the mushroom in Mario Kart,” a comment that quickly went viral.
Now Scuderia Ferrari has decided to play along with the joke, staging a fun gag during Thursday’s activities at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

A light-hearted moment that highlights the positive atmosphere inside the Maranello garage. Now it’s up to Leclerc to lower the visor and aim for victory, despite a Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team that currently looks like the team to beat.
