F1 Social: Cryptic messages, chess battles and more simulator selfies

This edition of F1 Social takes in the fallout from the Bahrain Grand Prix and the second race of the 2016 Formula 1 season.

Ferrari used Twitter to send a none-too-subtle message to Bernie Ecclestone and Jean Todt, Felipe Massa spotted something very wrong with a car in Bahrain and Max Verstappen showed off an unusual training technique.

It was all captured on social media, so here are the JAonF1 team’s top picks:

Ferrari posted this cryptic message shortly before it was revealed a unified front from the teams had forced Jean Todt and Bernie Ecclestone to back down over F1 qualifying.
