Powerless F1 drivers frustrated by Bahrain F1 software glitch

F1车手因巴林大奖赛软件故障陷入“无力”状态，对此感到沮丧

Leading F1 drivers are despairing at power unit software glitches that derailed the start of the Bahrain GP in Malaysia, with Lando Norris calling the electronic glitches “horrible” and further proof that F1 should move away from hybrids. F1顶尖车手们对导致马来西亚巴林大奖赛起步受阻的动力单元软件故障感到绝望。兰多·诺里斯称这些电子故障“太糟糕了”，并认为这进一步证明了F1应该放弃混合动力系统。

The start at a wet Sepang circuit was aborted after a large number of cars suffered crippling software issues. With the event being the first wet weather race contested by the 2026 generation of cars, a bug in the software when drivers were driving at very low speeds, triggered by the power unit controller’s wet weather mode, left drivers stuck into idle mode at various points of the two planned formation laps. 在湿滑的雪邦赛道，由于大量赛车遭遇严重的软件问题，起步被迫中止。这是2026代赛车首次在雨天比赛，当车手以极低速度行驶时，动力单元控制器的雨天模式触发了软件漏洞，导致车手在两圈预定编队圈的多个路段被迫进入怠速模式。

With several cars stuck into that idle loop, the FIA had to rapidly code and deliver a software patch for all 11 teams to install during the following red flag stoppage, lifting the usual wet weather power reduction in the affected zones. It took a 50-minute delay for the race to start, which was a major blemish for F1 ahead of what was otherwise an entertaining, mixed-weather race. 由于多辆赛车陷入怠速循环，国际汽联（FIA）不得不迅速编写并分发软件补丁，供所有11支车队在随后的红旗期间安装，以解除受影响区域通常的雨天动力限制。比赛因此推迟了50分钟才开始，这对于一场原本精彩纷呈、天气多变的比赛来说，是一个巨大的污点。

With drivers already harbouring misgivings on F1 2026’s battery-dominated racing and the overbearing electronics that are in charge, the incident did little to further endear them to the current formula. 鉴于车手们本就对2026赛季以电池为主导的赛车规则以及过度干预的电子系统心存疑虑，此次事件无疑让他们对当前的规则更加反感。

“It’s just horrible. I don’t know, it just proves that we shouldn’t have any of that stuff, the electronic side,” Norris said, one of the few Mercedes-powered drivers to suffer the glitch. “这太糟糕了。我不知道该说什么，这恰恰证明了我们不应该拥有那些电子设备，”作为少数几位遭遇故障的梅赛德斯动力单元车手之一，诺里斯说道。

“I’ve never seen an F1 race delayed by a bug. That was a new one,” Piastri said mockingly. “I got stuck for about a second. When the turbo doesn’t work on these things, you might as well push the car instead of using an engine. It was quite bizarre. It wasn’t a great look, but I think it would be unfair to point the finger before there’s an explanation.” “我从未见过F1比赛因为软件漏洞而推迟。这真是新鲜事，”皮亚斯特里嘲讽道。“我被卡住了一秒钟左右。当这些车的涡轮增压器不工作时，你还不如推着车走，而不是用引擎。这太离谱了。这看起来很糟糕，但在有合理解释之前指责谁是不公平的。”

Cadillac’s Sergio Perez, who drove one of several Ferrari-powered cars that were affected, was less kind. “It felt like you were in a rental kart and you ran out of time,” the Mexican explained. “You were putting your foot down and accelerating and nothing was coming. I’m sure we will learn from it as a sport. But what happened today is totally unacceptable for the sport.” 驾驶法拉利动力赛车并受到影响的凯迪拉克车手塞尔吉奥·佩雷兹则没那么客气。“感觉就像你在开租赁卡丁车，然后时间到了，”这位墨西哥车手解释道。“你踩下油门加速，却没有任何反应。我相信作为一项运动，我们会从中吸取教训。但今天发生的事情对于这项运动来说是完全不可接受的。”

Haas driver Oliver Bearman said it was “scary” for his throttle pedal being cut off by something beyond his control. “I’ve never seen anything like that. I was shocked,” he said. “I didn’t even know that the FIA could control our throttle pedal. That was quite scary, actually. My throttle pedal stopped working, but it looks like everybody stopped working as well. The engine was just idling.” 哈斯车手奥利弗·贝尔曼表示，油门踏板被超出他控制的因素切断让他感到“害怕”。“我从未见过这样的事情。我当时惊呆了，”他说。“我甚至不知道FIA可以控制我们的油门踏板。这真的很吓人。我的油门踏板停止工作了，看起来其他人的也一样。引擎只是在怠速。”

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso said there was now “too much technology” involved in the series and felt “the spectators don’t really appreciate it” either. 阿斯顿·马丁车队的费尔南多·阿隆索表示，现在的赛事中“技术含量太高了”，并认为“观众们并不真正欣赏这一点”。

Meanwhile, race winner Max Verstappen, whose slow getaway helped trigger the bug, likened the formation lap chaos to the Lego go-kart race in Silverstone. “That’s the problem that we have,” the Dutchman said. “These engines are so complicated and a lot of software is implemented. I triggered it first and then I looked in my mirror and I was like: ‘Wait, are they waiting for me or what’s going on…?’ Then we did a lap and then I saw eight other cars crawling still. What can you say? I mean, that’s not what you want for the sport, right?” 与此同时，比赛冠军马克斯·维斯塔潘——他缓慢的起步触发了该漏洞——将编队圈的混乱比作银石赛道的乐高卡丁车比赛。“这就是我们面临的问题，”这位荷兰车手说。“这些引擎太复杂了，而且植入了大量的软件。我最先触发了它，然后我看了看后视镜，心想：‘等等，他们是在等我吗？还是发生了什么……？’然后我们跑了一圈，我看到其他八辆车还在爬行。你能说什么呢？我的意思是，这绝不是我们希望看到的比赛，对吧？”
