Formula One ace Kimi Raikkonen's decision to leave Lotus for Ferrari was reportedly responded to on Lotus' official Twitter page with a photo of two rabbits, locked in a seemingly carnal encounter, with the message 'it hurts a little bit'.
The Britain-based team has more than 290,000 followers on Twitter for which the early morning tweet, whose message implied that Raikkonen's leaving has hurt the team, has been retweeted 10,900 times.
The report mentioned that the tweet has also been favourited by 2,269 people.
