Although the Japanese Grand Prix lasted only 28 laps instead of the planned 53, there was again plenty to talk about. A crane on the circuit, hours of no car on the track and, of course, Max Verstappen's second world title. Here's how the internet reacted to it!

If @F1 and the @FIA wanted to make those in the paddock - teams, media, TV, print - look like fools, congratulations, you succeeded.

A message saying "hey, if the race finishes under green, Max is champ", would have avoided the farce that followed post race.#JapaneseGP

With the FIA rules as they are...

We could have a delay of 2h55 after the 'race clock' starts...
A 5 minute sprint...
And full points awarded

FIA get grilled over tractor
How can we make it clear that we never want to see a crane on track?
— Sergio Pérez (@SChecoPerez) October 9, 2022
We lost Jules because of that mistake.
What happened today is totally unacceptable!!!!!
I hope this is the last time ever I see a crane on track!
Wtf. How’s this happened!? We lost a life in this situation years ago. We risk our lives, especially in conditions like this. We wanna race. But this… Unacceptable.
