Safety Car Glitch at British GP | F1 News

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.

This echoes last year’s Abu Dhabi controversy, but this time, the procedure was technically correct — just badly communicated.
