Wet Formula 1 races are awesome, when they finally happen at least.
As has become common these days, heavy rain meant a Safety Car start, red flags, restarts, red flags again, more Safety Car laps… you get the idea.
Thankfully the internet can keep us all entertained and when there’s no racing on, sometime the banter is even funnier than usual. Here are the best internet reactions to the frustrating rain delays at Interlagos.

Next attempt, leave pathetically slow safety car in the pitlane…
Then LH controls two laps at 60% pace.. then green!!! #tyretemp— Mark Webber (@AussieGrit) November 13, 2016

You know what……I got it, the FIA are attempting to make the F1 cars do the Mannequin Challenge in the pitlane #F1

They should just put on the #BrazilianGP from 1996. Which I won! In total saturation. #F1
