Veteran Formula 1 commentator Martin Brundle has heavily criticized the peculiar timing system failure that disrupted sprint qualifying at the Singapore Grand Prix, calling the incident deeply embarrassing for the pinnacle of motorsport.
The drama unfolded during a chaotic Friday session when SQ1 was forced to undergo a red flag period following an on-track crash involving Sergio Perez into the barriers. When track action resumed, the automated timing infrastructure failed to accurately log lap times, plunging drivers and team pitwalls into absolute confusion over whether they had done enough to advance.
Dilansir dari Crash.net, Brundle made his sharp assessment clear as the sport faced another major logistical hurdle just days after previous software complications. "This is a completely different problem to what we had last weekend, but equally as embarrassing at Formula 1 level," Brundle remarked during live broadcasting.
The governing body confirmed that the timing glitch forced a delay to the start of SQ2 by several minutes while technical crews scrambled to verify data integrity. An FIA spokesperson stated that the issue was eventually resolved and current timings were deemed accurate, though investigations into the root cause remained ongoing.
Adding to the logistical woes, a separate human error within race control meant that Overtake Mode was temporarily disabled during the initial phase of the session, impacting car performance before Max Verstappen ultimately secured pole position for the upcoming sprint race.
