Formula One to probe software bug behind Bahrain GP chaos in Sepang | Motorsports | Al Jazeera

FIA has announced a full investigation into a software bug that caused chaos and led to the aborted start of the Bahrain Grand Prix at Sepang. Drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were affected by the glitch during a formation lap after heavy rain and delays. Verstappen described the experience as a 'Lego race,' and Hamilton had to stop and restart his car, a career first. The FIA stated that a combination of low engine speed, wet conditions, energy management settings, and circuit configuration caused an unintended loss of power for several cars.
