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.

Willia🅷ms driver Sargeant was seen locking up and sliding off into the run-of𒐪f area all by himself on Lap 10 of Saturday’s season opener in Bahrain.

Sargeant was initially told he would need to retir🍃e, but the American managed to get back to the pits, where his car was fitted with a new steering wheel.

H♈e went on to finish a dis✤tant 20th after dropping to the back of the field and losing heaps of time due to the issue.

Williams t♋eam principal James Vowles said that a glitch with tꩲhe steering wheel changed Sargeant’s brake bias fully to the front, causing him to go off.

"With Logan, we have an uncomm🌳anded brake bias movement all the way to the front, wh🏅ich is why he went off," Vowles was quoted by Motorsport.com.

"Tಞhe brake bias moved nowhere near where he requested 🎉it to be.”

S♉peaking about his problematic race, Sargeant said: "It was just doing things on its own wit⛄hout 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 understand the core issue. We thought we fixed it, but obviously it c🌊ame back.

"It didn't happen again, once we changed the steering wheel, so maybe it's something there. But we just need to understand the core cause for it, and try to not let it happen aꩵgain.”

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 powꦅer 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 thiꦦs way - in the fact that our direct rivals didn't score points either. So it became a nullified race through circumstance.

"There were many things that just weren't in the right place. Fi🐻rst and foremost, y𓄧ou 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 themselves a little bit later than that. We need to get on top of understandi🐻ng 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 be in the ꦓpoints, to be clear♏. We have work to do to get there."
