The US Formula 1 Grand Prix was as exciting as ever, except for the part where Apple CEO Tim Cook waved the chequered flag in a rather awkward manner.
fans were just treated to one heck of a race at the Circuit of the Americas with high-speed crashes, fumbled pit stops and overtakes galore at the United States Grand Prix. However, despite all the action on track, one particular moment off track has gotten social media abuzz and it somehow involved the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook.
In case you weren’t awake at 3am onwards to catch the race, at the final lap, Tim Cook was brought on to trackside to wave the chequered flag at the finish line, which signals the end of the race. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this done before of course, as Formula 1 has a long tradition of bringing in special guests to wave the chequered flag.
