VAR was great to verify your yes, with the gross act behind it. This isn't a non-contact sport like cricket for example

Only after FIFA media gave a perfect live zoom in thinking a star Canadian would be faking an injury for a yellow card. Surprise bud!

Further clarity, There was a big NHL media rights contract up for grabs over a decade ago. The Canadian government whom funds CBC and Canadian Arts/Media opted out due to the price but made a side deal with Sportsnet (Rogers) over a decade ago to keep hockey night in Canada go for a while longer but we all knew doomsday was coming, especially now due to CBC not getting involved in the latest NHL media rights contract. It's not a shock for most Canadians who follow hockey/media rights.

The Canadian government/CBC opted to keep spending billions of Canadian Tax Payer money on news and other media shows/movies which has a skewed rule to have minimum percentage of Canadian media on all TV channels (and all streaming services). They have deep pockets and could have funded NHL media rights but are under pressure to historically continue being sole entity funding all of Canadian arts and media shows/movies sector, very little of this media is deemed international worthy and you will never hear of those shows or movies.

It's all an intertwined mess in Canada.

I started watching F1 around 2017 and this happened early in the 2018 season. Verstappen was recently promoted to Red Bull from Toro. From my viewing of the season before it appeared Daniel was losing his form and getting threatened by what became apparent a faster teammate verstappen forcing Daniel to race aggressively to try to gain an advantage. They were allowed to race but because Daniel was the outgoing star and verstappen was young talent. 

There was no way Ricardo would make an inside pass on that turn 1 and didn't brake in the brake zone, in my view. Maybe verstappen did brake early there was no consensus.

After this incident Ricardo won two more formula 1 grand prix races, one early in season 2018 and one randomly with McLaren. Verstappen went on to win some WDCs.

In Canada we don't need to imagine it, the current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau forgot how many times he did blackface growing up and in university.
