An electronic problem was the reason behind Francesco Bagnaia's false tyre pressure warning in the Brno Sprint Race.

Francesco Bagnaia has revealed that the reason behind his tyre pressure warning at the Czech Republic Grand Prix was an electrical issue.

After qualifying on pole position for the first time this season, Bagnaia appeared set to feature on the Sprint Race podium at Brno.

However, on lap five of the Sprint Race, Bagnaia sat up with what appeared to be an issue and dropped down the order from second to seventh throughout the remaining laps of the race.

Bagnaia's tyre pressure warning light did not turn off during the Sprint, leading the Italian to believe that he would get a penalty after Saturday's track action. But data analysis after the Sprint showed Bagnaia’s bike had developed a fault and wrongly told him he was under the front pressure limit.

"Unluckily, I received a notice from the dashboard that I was under the pressure limit," he told MotoGP.com.

"I tried to let other riders go, and this message wasn’t going away. I was sure to get a penalty, but I arrived at the box and saw I wasn’t under investigation.

"So, it was a strange. Then I looked at the data, and from the second lap, I was over the limit. So, it’s quite strange to have this kind of problem. But already before the start I was having some electronics problems with the dashboard.

"My team was working to set everything, and maybe something wasn’t set in a normal way. Normally, I wouldn’t have had to let other riders go because my pressure was ok.

"But I did it because my bike was saying to me [I should]. It’s an unlucky situation, but it’s true my team can explain better what happened because I don’t really know.

"But it is what it is. But to this moment from the start of the season, things are not going in a normal way. But we are working hard to at least try to find normality, consistency that works well.

"Marc, I understood was below the limit, but he let Pedro [Acosta] pass; he reached the limit and overtook him again.

"So, he was doing the normal thing. In my case, it wasn’t working. It’s strange but sometimes electronics and strange rules make these things more strange."
