The Bernie meme makes it to IndyCar!

Unless you've been living in a cave or were deprived of social media yesterday, you'll have inevitably seen the instant meme-ifiction of US senator Bernie Sanders on the internet.

Sanders was spotted at the inauguration on Wednesday of President Joe Biden sitting cross-legged, wearing a mask, jacket and mittens. And the 79-year-old's 'grumpy chic' pose was all the internet needed to spring into action and virally insert the photo into popular scenes from movies, television shows, sports and more.

Predictably, the motorsport peeps also took part in the action, with one Matt Archuleta - @indy44 - posting on Twitter the most "smashing" meme of all: Bernie nonchalantly sat at Gateway watching Alexander Rossi walk away from mayhem on the first lap!

Rossi himself gave @indy44 a "fantastic" thumbs up.
