Pretty bizarre how many electronic gizmos were inexplicably malfunctioning this race.
Red Bull’s pit release light, Russell’s transponder, DRS issues for McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes, Norris’ mystery red light.
Add to that, for the second time already this year, the on screen graphics for viewers was a complete mess - with the time tower missing for extended periods and replays being indicated wrongly. You'd think, with these teams being at the cutting edge of technology and the insane amount of money in the sport, that they’d be able to iron out these sorts of gremlins!

The on screen graphics issue was linked to Russell’s transponder, it was messing everything up. Wouldn’t be surprised if DRS issues were linked to it too as they all happened to Russell and cars behind him

I wonder if they have a new contractor providing the data transmission systems. Russel’s non-penalty notice mentions “an external party”.

DOTD I'm sorry is stupid. Lewis???
Would expect a +5 unless there's evidence of a wider issue with DRS.
