Autosport reported the same sequence, including the FIA's human-error explanation and the 27-second activation. Earlier, Medland had said the FIA and FOM were investigating whether a timing dropout caused the overtake-mode problem or whether it was a separate manual error.

The Race said the error left some drivers with limited engine power during sprint qualifying.

Chris Medland@ChrisMedlandF1Not yet certain but I think this was separate to the timing issue. But overtake mode was definitely turned off and on again around the end of SQ1 in what seemed like an unusual race control message #F1 #SingaporeGP2h
