The clip comes from Brazilian Formula 1 television coverage, where former driver Luciano Burti worked as a commentator for Globo. It is tied to the November 2015 Brazilian Grand Prix report about Felipe Nasr, Felipe Massa and a communication failure that left a driver hindered on track. Brazilian fans cut the short phrase from the broadcast and shared it on soundboards and in WhatsApp groups, where foi atrapalhado became a ready made reaction for being blocked, delayed or sabotaged by someone else's mistake.
