Tear Off reported that the FIA had attributed the loss of power of several cars during the formation lap before the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia to an unprecedented combination of low engine revs, reduced grip, rain-adjusted energy management parameters, and the configuration of the sectors of the Sepang circuit. According to the statement relayed by Tear Off, the FIA's technical department had removed energy restrictions in the affected sectors through a software update sent to all competitors during the delay of the start due to heavy rain. This allowed teams to modify their power units before the race. The issue had not been detected by either the FIA or the teams during testing or the grid formation laps, and an analysis was to be conducted with the teams and engine manufacturers. #F1 #BahrainGP #F1 #Bahreïn #Courseauto (translated)
