Formula 1 has become a sport that has many in a chokehold. However, this immense popularity can be quite demanding, especially for the likes of Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and many more. But as much as they try to seek some sort of privacy and a way to stay out of sight, fans take no time to turn into detectives.
So when Lewis Hamilton’s burner account alongside many other drivers was leaked, fans could not help but talk about the cryptic message in his username.
Recently, fans did what they do best and found the burner/private accounts of F1 drivers on Instagram including Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, and more.
Burner accounts are private accounts that have only a few close friends following them as they share their private lives or something they may not share in public. However, trying to follow the burner accounts was not a part of the plan. Fans started trolling drivers for how obvious they were.

However, for Lewis Hamilton, it was quite different. The 7-time champion’s burner account was a little too mysterious. This raised doubts in everyone’s minds. The driver had his username in a way that sounded quite cryptic.
This had everyone investigating drivers yet again. While some continued to troll the drivers for following their burner accounts with their main official account on Instagram.

The seven-time champion also has his burner account followed by his official Instagram account. With that being said, fans were even more curious to understand the meaning behind the star’s username.
His username was “ev10am26la”, many guessed it had something to do with 26th October. However, this did not stop fans from trolling the seven-time champion alongside all the other drivers.Ā Many also mentioned just how cryptic it was. One fan commented, “The whole purpose of a burner account is for people not to know itās you Iām in tears.”Ā

Many fans noticed his bio saying “burning account” which the fans could not get past just like that. Fans also mentioned how he follows his burner account with his official Instagram account which has more than 34 million followers.
Many others joined in on trying to figure out the cryptic message behind it. However, to no avail, the fans could not get to the bottom of it. Nonetheless, it became a topic of conversation for many, and instead of wanting to be a follower of the burner accounts, fans hilariously attacked drivers for being so evident.
