The United States GP brought another Formula 1 win for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. With a time of 1:42:11.687, Verstappen managed to keep Mercedes’s Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc behind in a highly competitive race.

Following the race, Red Bull have been confirmed as the 2022 Constructors Championship with 656 points. Ferrari with 469 remains in second with Mercedes a close third at 416. While the race was quite eventful, the waving of the checkered flag was anything but.

Formula 1 often invites celebrities to the track and allows them to wave the checkered flag at the end of the race. While often those celebrities are full of energy given the honour, sometimes things don’t go as expected.

When Apple CEO Tim Cook came to Austin, Texas for the Formula 1 race many expected the popular CEO to be enthusiastic. His checkered flag waving however was quite the opposite. Cook found himself the subject of online mockery as soon as fans saw his unenthusiastic flag-waving. Apple’s CEO seemed to be struggling with the flag and had to use both of his hands in order to wave it. He also did not show any emotion despite cars flying near him at more than 300kmph.

Following Tim Cook’s flat waving, many took to Twitter and started making memes about the half-hearted act. Even the sports website ESPN could not stop themselves from having a laugh. Posting a collage of Tim Cook, ESPN F1 wrote, “Tim Cook needs to calm down.”

Another Twitter user by the name Jeff Lannucci wrote, “Tim Cook waving the checkered flag at today’s F1 race is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.”
