F1 fans livid with 'terrible' Terry Crews decision after awkward Max Verstappen moment in Las Vegas
Watch now: GB News' sports round-up
F1 fans were unimpressed with the decision to allow actor Terry Crews to interview the top three drivers of the Las Vegas Grand Prix as well as newly-crowned world champion Max Verstappen.
The Red Bull star managed to finish ahead of Lando Norris to seal his fourth consecutive world title around the streets of Las Vegas.
Despite not ending up on the podium, Verstappen was allowed to join George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz in the post-race celebrations on the grid.
All four drivers were then whisked off in Rolls Royces to a separate podium in front of the Bellagio fountains for the post-race driver interviews.

Former F1 star Button was joined by Hollywood actor and former NFL star Crews in conducting the interviews.
Crews was living in the moment as he praised all four drivers and even appeared to be starstruck when speaking to Hamilton, branding him a 'legend'.
There was also an awkward moment between Crews and Verstappen when the pair attempted a handshake that turned into a strange high-five.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix was always going to bring out some of the biggest stars from all walks of life with F1 diving head first into the glitz and the glamour of Sin City.
But F1 fans were not impressed by Crews being given part of the responsibility to do the post-race driver interviews.
One person wrote: "Verstappen and Terry Crews just did the most awkward holding hands high-face I've ever seen."
Another moaned: "Well, the awkward interviews didn't help either. Terry Crews choice terrible."
A third posted: "Bro why did Terry Crews look so lost up there?"
