The problem led to several cars, including those of the two multiple world champions who were sharing the front row of the grid, not working in the wet conditions that preceded the race. A tropical downpour delayed attempts to get the grand prix under way for the best part of an hour.
And when the cars set off on formation laps behind a safety car to test the conditions, audiences were treated to the bizarre sight of many of them struggling to move. A bug in the software that mandates how the engines' electrical power can be used in wet conditions had been triggered by a combination of low engine speeds, low grip and specific aspects of the circuit layout.
Verstappen, who went on to take a dominant win that was his first victory of the year, said: "These engines are so complicated and a lot of software is implemented. "I triggered the problem first and then I looked in my mirror, I was like, 'Wait, are they waiting for me or what's going on...?' It was like the Lego race."

Verstappen was referring to a show run in battery-powered Lego F1 cars that was held before the British Grand Prix in July. The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Sports landscape.
