Formula 1
Five hours and 34 minutes after the checkered flag fell at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the result of the Canadian Grand Prix was declared final.
In that time, Max Verstappen, who crossed the line second for Red Bull, had already made it onto his private jet to head back to Europe so he could test a GT car at the Spa circuit in Belgium the next day. The majority of the pack-up operation in the F1 paddock was already complete, leaving those still at the track to dodge between freight boxes on their way out in the Montreal darkness.
The lengthy delay between the end of the race and the result being made official was a source of frustration for many.
Fans in Europe would have gone to bed without knowing if George Russell had actually won the race, after Red Bull lodged multiple protests against the Mercedes driver.
