Safety Car Glitch at British GP | F1 News
Description
The British Grand Prix ended in confusion after a software glitch caused race control to incorrectly signal a one-lap restart under the safety car — only to reverse course moments later. Max Verstappen’s crash triggered the safety car, and while lapped cars were allowed to unlap, the race was meant to finish under the safety car after one full lap. The miscommunication led to Charles Leclerc’s unexpected win without a final lap showdown — but the FIA confirmed the rules were followed, blaming the error on a software glitch. This echoes last year’s Abu Dhabi controversy, but this time, the procedure was technically correct — just badly communicated.
