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!

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 🤔

2021: Perez holds Hamilton up in Abu Dhabi to give Verstappen a chance of winning the title. 2022: Perez forces Leclerc into the mistake that seals Verstappen's second title. The perfect wingman 💙

How can we make it clear that we never want to see a crane on track? 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.
