F1 writer links slow-car software bug to Mansell's 1986 failure
Original: Adam Cooper (@adamcooperF1): RT @adamcooperF1: A software bug exposed by F1 cars going slowly is not a new thing - it's
Motorsport journalist Adam Cooper says a software bug exposed by Formula 1 cars running slowly is nothing new, pointing to Nigel Mansell's infamous last-lap tyre failure in the 1986 Australian Grand Prix, when a slow lap exposed a flaw in his Williams. The comment draws a parallel between a current F1 technical issue and one of the sport's most famous mechanical failures.
Why now: A current F1 software problem has prompted comparisons to Nigel Mansell's legendary last-lap retirement.
