We think someone might have been chopping an enormous batch of onions because we can't stop bawling our eyes out watching the Brazilian Grand Prix, this afternoon.

The race was to be Brazilian Felipe Massa's last ever Grand Prix and, in a scene more heartbreaking than the episode of The Simpsons where Homer's mum leaves him, the 35-year-old São Paulo native crashed and was unable to finish the race in his hometown.

However, despite the heartbreak of his situation, Massa was still given a heroes send off as he walked through the pit lane, draped in the Brazilian flag, with everyone on their feet applauding the hometown hero:

Obrigado, Felipe.
