FIA blames software glitch for controversial Silverstone finish
The FIA says a software error caused conflicting safety-car messages at the British Grand Prix, leading to a final-lap finish that followed the unlapping procedure. With the correct rules observed, Charles Leclerc won, George Russell finished second after Mercedes’ tyre choices, and Lewis Hamilton remains under investigation for an earlier yellow-flag infringement; the episode echoes the controversy surrounding Abu Dhabi 2021.
