Mercedes F1 sponsor CrowdStrike fault leads to a global Microsoft outage.
In a monumental slip-up by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which has been a sponsor of the Mercedes Formula 1 team since 2019, global operations across various sectors have come to a grinding halt. A seemingly routine update from CrowdStrike inadvertently triggered widespread IT disruptions, manifesting primarily as the infamous Blue Screen of Death on Windows-operated computers worldwide.
The outage has led to widespread discussion within the Formula 1 community as to whether Mercedes will be affected during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, which begins with the first two practice sessions today. Taking to social media platform Reddit, fans have been debating the issues comparing it to Sky Sports F1 which has been able to get back up and running after a minor issue this morning.
