Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was declared the winner of a race that lasted two laps behind the safety car. And on Monday, Alfa Romeo said the event should have been abandoned without trying to make the result of the race official. The event dragged on for three and a half hours as the FIA sought to find a window in which a race could be run in the heavy rain, but poor visibility meant conditions were deemed too dangerous to let the cars loose. Race director Michael Masi said officials thought there could be a weather window in which some racing could take place, and the cars were sent out to assess conditions.
