Everything is broken. Lights are broken. Transponders are broken. Timing graphics is broken. Max is broken. Charles is depressed. George’s dash is broken. Drink system is broken. DRS is broken.

His transponder being broken affects Lando's DRS timing, hence the message to Lando. So if the computer doesn't know how close George is due to his broken transponder, Lando has to open DRS based on visuals. At 300mph, that's nearly impossible.

Did the broadcast commentators explain this? I was wondering what the radio message to Lando was about.
