    • Ferrari Ridiculed After Posting Image Of 'Montreal' Showing Toronto Skyline

    MONTREAL — Ferrari's racing division was ridiculed online Tuesday after it tweeted about this weekend's Formula One race in Montreal using an image of downtown Toronto.

     

    A 38-second clip viewed more than 47,000 times and tweeted by Scuderia Ferrari included the words "Montreal, Canada" over video of the CN Tower, Lake Ontario and the densely populated core of Canada's largest city.

     

    Ferrari corrected the mistake on Wednesday and apologized.

     

    But while the erroneous image was still online, people responded with images of Mercedes-Benz cars under the Ferrari logo and with other internet memes making fun of the company.

     

    The race takes place Sunday in Montreal.
