The Japanese Grand Prix ended with Max Verstappen on the top step of the podium. Some people think Formula 1 gets boring for this reason, but the race at Suzuka in Japan was far from a boring affair after all. The internet also saw plenty of strange things during the race. Here are some of the best/funniest reactions.
