Logan Sargeant’s unusual Bahrain GP steering wheel glitch explained
The issue w👍hich caused Logan Sargeant's early off in the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix has been explained.
A steering wheel glitch has been revealed as the cause of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant’s bizarre off during the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Williams driver Sargeant was seen locking up and sliding off into the run-off area all by h🎀imself on Lap 10 of Saturday’s season opener in Bahrain.
Sargeant was initiall💞y told he would need to retire, but the American managed to get back toღ the pits, where his car was fitted with a new steering wheel.
He went on to finish a distant 20th after dropping to the🐷 back of the field and losing heaps of time due to the issue.
Williams team principal James Vowles said that a glitch with the steering wheel changed Sargeant’s brake bias fully to the front, causing hꩲim to go off.
"With Logan, we have an uncommanded brake bias movement all the way to the front, which is why he went off," Vowles was quoted by Motorsp꧅🦹ort.com.
🍎"The brake bias moved nowhere near where he requested it to be.”
Speaking about his problematic race, Sargeant said: "It was jus﷽t doing things on its own without my asking. I don't completely understand it ☂from my side.
"We've had some electronic issues the last couple of days, qualifying and then today. So we just need to unders꧂tand the core issue. We thought we fixed it, but obv✤iously it came back.
"It didn't happen again, once we changed the steering wheel, so maybe it's something there. But𝓡 we just need to understand the core cause for it, and try to not let it happen again.”
Sargeant’s teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon started 13th but slipped back to 15th after being hampered by power unit temperature♐ problems.
"I know that we have a much faster car than that," Vowles said. "The fortune is only - and I shouldn't be thinking this way - in the fact that our direct rivals didn💛't sco💛re points either. So it became a nullified race through circumstance.
"There were many things that just wer😼en't in the right place. First and foremost, you would have seen that we were suffering with engine temperatures from lap 2.
"That's unusual. You can often have engine temperature issues, but normally manifest thems🎉elves a little bit later than that. We need to get on top of understanding that, that was very, very costly.
"So you didn't see what we can perform with. I think the field is very tight. I think we 🦄have the potential to be P11. But not to b🐈e in the points, to be clear. We have work to do to get there."
