I may never watch F1 again. Most embarrassing, shameful thing I’ve ever seen in sport.
They must have known from looking at the radar there was no chance of any meaningful ‘race’ when they did this.

Both championships could be decided on it as well. It may have ramifications all the way down both tables. Williams have had a huge gift.

Did the Honda guy really just celebrate this ”victory”?

I'll take brain dead comments for 500, Alex.
Found Michael Masi.
Please explain to me what they are meant to do when the entire grid of drivers is saying it's too dangerous to drive?

Congrats to Georgie Boy for his second place even if he´s gonna get half points or whatever. Also congrats to Niki for making the fastest lap of the race!

Race control has quite a short fuse man. But Russell P2 and Latifi P9, nice haul haha.
Please don’t.
There should be no celebrating this it’s pathetic.

What kind of driver wants a gifted trophy. It’s worthless.

Sport championships have been decided on luck and questionable referee calls since... since there are sport championships.

Lol Honda celebrating. Its nearly impossible anything happens from here, they'll do the 10 minute warning thing then what? 20 minutes under SC again. We have no choice but to take it, it being what we are currently witnessing

I guess a race event has now technically been ‘completed’? No expectation of refunds/compensation for punters now, that’s my cynical take of the last couple of mins.
Team ANTI-HYPE. Prove it, then I’ll anoint you.

To change the subject, what do we think about the overtaking award?

Isn’t it partly just a reward for being bad at qualifying?!

Exactly my thoughts as well. I bet any ‘result’ triggers a clause to prevent or reduce refunds.

How the hell you want to race when you see anything but wall of water in front of you?
