Bahrain GP start suspended after formation-lap power losses
The FIA said low grip, energy-management settings and Sepang’s layout combined to sap power from several cars.
TLDR
Race control suspended the Bahrain Grand Prix start after several cars lost power during the formation lap at Sepang. The FIA blamed an unusual mix of low speed, low grip, wet-weather energy settings and the circuit layout. Officials distributed a software update during a rain delay, then restored the original grid for a standing start. The FIA said it would review the issue with teams and power-unit manufacturers.
