Formula 1

A reminder of why I stopped watching the sport years ago.

The Duckworth-Lewis system in 50 over cricket matches isn't perfect, but at least both sides know what will happen if the match has to be shortened. The race marshall basically made it up as he went along. It's equivalent in 50 over cricket would be letting the host broadcaster nominate whatever target seems to be a good idea at the time.

Not sure if you guys watched the post race breakdown but it was made relatively clear why everything happened the way it did. When you hear the reasons behind it all, it's hard to argue.

Basically safety was #1 and letting them race was #2 (and not letting penalties decide the winner)

Hamilton was not penalised at the start.
Verstappen got a bit of luck at the end.
3 different world champions all said there are some issues, but they were allowed to race and both were helped/hindered equally throughout the race 1-1 in decisions. They wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
