Lewis engine shutdown

[CivicMan]

Not being a tecchie, anybody have an insight on how Lewis' engine can be shutdown for 40 seconds?

Conspiracy theories welcomed!

Gearbox issue, software put it in default mode and selected neutral. I'd expect it's a safety system to stop the box lunching itself while it runs a few checks.

I think it was a built in 'feature' that they were supposed to put on Alonso's car.

Bla bla bla. They said they had the gearbox open in parc ferme as they suspected something.

I know the conspiracy boys are going to have a field day but it's extremely far fetched.
