F1 Twitter's best Max Verstappen world champion confusion memes

The world of Formula 1 was left confused after the Japanese Grand Prix, as everyone was counting on calculators, abacuses, and their fingers to work out if Max Verstappen was indeed confirmed as a double world champion.

F1 Twitter was equally as confused as people dug out the FIA regulations to determine how many points would be awarded, with some people claiming Verstappen was champion, others claiming he wasn't, but most people just baffled.

Social media enjoyed the madness of it all and many users were entertained by Verstappen's own confusion as not even the drivers knew how many points had been awarded.

Did F1 just accidentally crown Max Verstappen World Champion prematurely? ????
