First of all, why with all the TV production there, could the telecast not get a single live shot of the section in question? It wasn't until 25+ minutes after red flag they showed this picture.

Thanks for pic and live link... It's exactly what you'd expect, 20 dudes standing around watching one dude look at the hole scratching his head... I feel bad for anyone that actually paid to go to see FP 1/2.

Oof, yeah I can't imagine paying for Friday and this is all you get. There weren't event any support races to watch beforehand.

I saw multiple people on the other website who had bought single day tickets since it was all they can afford, then saw 8 minutes of running cars, followed by hours in the cold, only to be kicked out before the second session even began.

F1 has to do refunds for Friday tickets at this point.

Wow, that's pretty bad. Yeah, they better refund them.
