On Sunday evening, after the Italian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz unwittingly became the center of attention due to a robbery. While in Milan, his watch, valued at 500,000 euros, was stolen. Nevertheless, the Spaniard remained undeterred and chased after the thieves, successfully recovering his stolen property with the help of bystanders.
The news immediately circulated on the web, and on Twitter, even Ryanair’s official page posted a comment about what happened to the Ferrari driver, in the sharp and biting style that social media managers of the airline company have become known for. Below is the controversial tweet:
Ryanair jabs at Carlos Sainz
The official Italian profile of the airline, citing the official article recounting the incident, commented: “The only race he can win.”
This pointed comment directed at Carlos Sainz has sparked outrage among many of his fans, who heavily criticized Ryanair.
Social media managers, with the clear approval of the company, often playfully comment on various events, utilizing current trends to garner thousands of interactions. Whether positive or negative, these interactions significantly boost the visibility (virality) of the tweet, thereby generating substantial publicity.
