F1 drivers, teams and fans react to Ferrari's disqualification
- Savannah Lenz
It is a long-running joke in the Tifosi fandom that being a Ferrari fan means you will suffer. However, after Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were disqualified from the Chinese Grand Prix, Ferrari fans took their heartbreak to another level.
This is the first time in Ferrari history that both drivers have been disqualified at the same race, and Ferrari fans are not taking it lightly. The past two races have not been the best for the new teammates, and the loss of their Chinese Grand Prix points is a hard blow.
