Motorsport: F1 investigates software problem that delayed the start of the Bahrain Grand Prix

# Motorsport: Formula One’s governing body ordered a full investigation into a software problem that delayed the start of yesterday’s Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia. The F-I-A says an unprecedented combination of low engine speed, low-grip conditions, wet-weather energy management settings and the Sepang circuit’s sector configuration led to an ​unintended loss of power for a number of cars. The body, the various teams and the power unit manufacturers will undertake a full review of the issue. Red Bull’s Dutch driver, Max Verstappen, eventually won the race.
