I've just tuned in and there is a hoard of mechanics around the left of Verstappen's car, which is sitting on the grid.

They mentioned that it was software related and that it is sorted now.
Fingers crossed though. |

Bottas takes the lead but Verstappen's PU issue seems to have come back and the SC is out as it looks like Gasly connected with Raikkonen and then it all went wrong.

Bottas wipes out the entire grid.

Magnussen and Sainz into the wall. Cautions breed cautions as they say.

We get this nonsense at Baku as well. Very silly.

Sainz injured his hand? |

Hamilton on the radio, saying the SC lights went out late.

Back of the grid cars can see the green lights flashing.

Whisper it quietly, but Williams can nab a point with a bit of luck here.

What even is this race
Looks like Giovinazzi (and maybe some others) gambled on the restart, causing the mess. |

Why do you blame Bottas?
As far as I could see he maintained a constant speed and didn't accellerate/brake or something. So I don't think he did anything wrong. I think part of the problem is that pit-in is on the start of the straight. |

When you see the green light you are naturally going to go for it.......Team message to Bottas seemed to be a coded "we're not saying it was you fault, but......"

Bottas was fine. What he did was completely fine and legal.
The issue was a car back in the pack decided the race was green, so everyone went with them. It appears that it may have been Russell who went too early. Magnussen had (correctly) not gone. Gio, Sainz and co had gone. Russell pulls out into plenty of space, and then Gio, Sainz and co are at full tilt and fine Magnussen at SC speed. |

So I guess if we can't get reverse grid races, let's just start races where the back of the pack takes off first.
