Ferrari has attempted to ease the backlash from its 💟controversial tweet which blamed Max Verstappen for crashing into Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel to see the three retire on the opening lap of the Singapore Grand Prix.

Afte🐈r a stewards investigation into the clash ruled that no one driver was to blame by calling it a racing incident, 💞all three drivers escaped punishment having failed to score at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

But the clash was sparked into further controversy when Ferrari’s official twitter account placed the blam🎃e solely on Verstappen – something fervently denied by both Verstappen and R🎉ed Bull boss Christian Horner.

“I don’t think it was a racing incident,” Verstappen said. “At the end of the day they take a total of three cars and꧟ I was in the middle without doing anythi🐎ng wrong. I was just trying to have a clean start.”

“How on earth you can work that out from watching 🌞t💛hat, I have no idea,” Horner said. “Anyone who can blame Verstappen out of that needs their eyes tested.”

According to Ferrar🥀i, the tweet which has fanned the flames on the controversy was not posted by the team’s head of communications but someone in the Ferrari garage who wasn’t officially endorsed by the team.

Despite this, Ferrari have kept the tweet on their feed while responding, “What we tweeted was a factual description of eventsꦐ. No need to speculate on this.”
