Lewis Hamilton secured glory in the Canada Grand Prix.
However, the British heavyweight’s win was hugely controversial after Sebastian Vettel was slapped with five-second penalty for dangerous driving.
Vettel won on the road, but was penalised for going on the grass and impeding Hamilton at Turn Three on lap 48.
The incident prompted a social media meltdown, with many motorsport fans claiming they’ll now turn their backs on F1.
“F1 hero Lewis Hamilton secured victory in Canada ”
“That’s the reason MotoGP is better than formula 1 as there is no funny penalties like this, pure racing only,” posted one irate observer.
“FIA is holding back racers and then they expects good racing. At least introduce a long lap penalty like in MotoGP. 10 sec 5 sec is bull****.”
“A complete farce, it means nothing. F1 since 2014 has been the worst period in F1 history,” added another.
“Hybrids and Mercedes have killed the sport I once loved. Still, I’m off to Spain to watch MOTOGP this weekend, it’s what F1 used to be, SPECIAL, very sad really.
One other supporter suggested he’ll be ditching F1 after half a decade watching racing on four wheels.
“The moment I switched off the TV set in the middle of a race after having been an F1 follower for over 50 years,” a post read.
“I’m done with it and no, I'm not even a great Vettel fan. In future I'll stick to MotoGP.”
One fan simply proclaimed MotoGP is the better sport: “Lost all interest in F1! Nothing beats MotoGP.”

"I was trying to survive, to keep the car on track,” Vettel said in the aftermath of the race.
“I came from the grass, the tyres were dirty and I was fighting to get back on line and get control back of the car.
"I don't know what I can do differently. It is a very short time. I lost the rear on entry.
“I had to make the correction. I sailed through the grass. I was lucky not to spin.
"Once I regained control, I had a look in the mirror and Lewis was right behind me. I was lucky he did not try to go on the inside and just drive past me.
“I don't know where he was. Maybe he was too far away. But the gap I had was gone."
