FIA introducing measures to avoid ‘software bug’ chaos repeat

The FIA will introduce further changes to wet-weather engine software from the United States Grand Prix after completing a review into the "software bug" that further delayed the start of last week's rain-hit race in Malaysia.

Several cars slowed or briefly stopped on the rain-hit laps to the grid last Sunday due to what the governing body after the race described as an "unprecedented combination" related to both the slow speed the cars were travelling in the wet and the sector configuration of the Sepang lap.
