🏳️ A blue-flag system failure caused confusion throughout the Hungarian Grand Prix, according to Autosport.

Warnings appeared randomly on drivers’ steering-wheel displays and did not show the car number they applied to. Race control was aware of the issue and relied instead on physical flags and trackside light panels.

🏎 Esteban Ocon said he raced Isack Hadjar for several corners after leaving the pits, unaware that he was already a lap down. His team eventually clarified the situation over the radio.

Carlos Sainz was also unaware that Oscar Piastri was approaching to lap him before their Turn 2 collision, while Oliver Bearman said blue-flag warnings appeared on his display almost every lap, making it difficult to tell who they were intended for.
