‘Insane’: F1 drivers unite over engine regulations after chaotic Bahrain GP

The Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia was marred by chaotic scenes as software problems in the engine control electronics caused multiple cars to stop on track and struggle to accelerate during formation laps in wet conditions. Max Verstappen won the race for Red Bull despite the disruptions, which prompted widespread condemnation of F1's current engine regulations from drivers including Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton. The incidents sparked calls for reform of the sport's electronic engine management rules.
