Oscar Piastri’s tweet and Alpine’s rejection last weekend was the biggest talking point in Formula 1. However, the news went on the radar not only in the world of Formula 1, but also in other sports.
F1 fans have taken to Twitter to make endless memes and jokes about the junior driver’s reaction to Alpine’s announcement that he will be driving for the French team next season. Alexander Albon also joked about it when Williams confirmed his seat for 2023. But it’s not just the F1 world that has embraced the drama between Piastri and Alpine.

Other sports also benefited from Piastri’s tweet. Spanish football club Sevilla co-opted Piastri’s statement to announce the transfer of Alex Telles. Borussia Dortmund’s English-language Twitter account used the same tweet to promote its televised matches in the United States, while even smaller teams like Leamington FC mocked their own tweet. Beyond the sport, low-cost airline Ryanair also did its part, while optician Specsavers tried to get free publicity by joining the conversation.
