China GP

I missed the race because of the time. I originally had 7 dnf's then noticed
4 dns's. I changed to 5, if this isn't correct let me know

I'm not participating in the GG this year.

4 cars classified as DNS, only 18 cars raced.  Of those 18, 15 finished, leaving 3 DNF

3 DNF matches the results published by Formula1.com

3 is what I got. I couldn't find out what happened to Bortoleto in
the race lap by lap

Weirdly, there wasn't much coverage on the four non-starters during the race.

With so much on track action, they didn't really need to fill time talking about what was going on with the cars who couldn't race.

Weirdly when I tried to see how the race unfolded in the lap by lap feature it mentioned the two McLaren's and Albon never left the pits but Bortoleto wasn't mentioned

Clear up at the top of the lap-by-lap, after the race was over, under the header "Headlines from before the lights went out"

Albon was supposed to start from the pits but had a hydraulics issue

Bortoleto was wheeled off the grid because the car wouldn't start

Norris never left the pits due to electrical issue

Piastri was wheeled off the grid with a different electrical issue

I wonder when was the last time a GP had 4 DNS that were not related to a shunt in Quali/Practice/Sprint, just because they simply won't go.

Apparently the last driver to DNS two races in a row wasn't just driving a McLaren, it was Bruce himself!

Interesting that one of the reasons for new engine regs was the previous ones were too complex!
Seems a bit of an own goal by the FIA/F1.
