After interruptions to television coverage and team communications on the pit walls during FP1 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the Formula 1 organisation confirmed that a local fibre optic line failed, leading to the issues on Friday morning.
This outage had a profound impact on how the session was broadcast, with a key failure being team radio transmissions between the pit wall and drivers, as well as driver tracking and onboard cameras being unavailable during the session.
As a result, engineers were unable to tell their drivers what the traffic situation was on track, with drivers often told when to move over for faster cars behind.
