Was there a surprise Luxembourger in the Grand Prix race? Alas, no. It appears whoever was in charge of showing the flags of the winners of the race got a bit confused and put the Luxembourgish flag up instead of the Dutch flag.

Max Verstappen, who came in third position, is from the Netherlands and as we know, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have quite similar flags.

The flags differ only in the lightness of the blue, which makes mix-ups quite likely.
