Verstappen's Australian GP Q crash linked to ERS glitch
TL;DR Summary
Max Verstappen crashed on his first qualifying run for the Australian Grand Prix when his Red Bull’s rear locked during a downshift into Turn 1. RacingNews365 technical expert Paolo Filisetti says an ERS software glitch read engine speed incorrectly, triggering a safe mode that locked the rear axle—not a gearbox or brake-by-wire fault—highlighting teething problems with current F1 energy-recovery tech and foreshadowing possible chaos in the race due to energy management.
