FERRARI rubbed salt in the wounds of Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes just moments after Sebastian Vettel won the British Grand Prix.
The Italian powerhouses Tweeted their race report with the words 'Hammer Blow' - a play on words with the Brit's surname.
Hamilton's race was scuppered by Kimi Raikkonen on the first lap - the Ferrari driver crashed into the Brit, sending him back to 18th.
The four-time world champion showed great fight in front of his home crowd at Silverstone to recover the situation and finish second.
But despite turning things around, Hamilton cut a frustrated figure on the podium before accusing Ferrari of "interesting tactics".
Following the race Hamilton said: "All l would say is that it's two races in which a Ferrari has taken out a Mercedes.
"Valtteri [Bottas] and I have both lost out in those situations."


Vettel hit back and denied any of Ferrari's collisions have been premeditated.
The race-winner said: "It's silly to think that anything happened was deliberate.
"I don't think there was an intention and l think it's unnecessary to even go there [with suggestions of deliberate intent]."
But fans on social media enjoyed Ferrari's post-race jibe, with one fan describing it as "beautiful".
