Could it have been simply him pressing frantically in his elevated state of mind, double-pressing it, closing it prematurely or even before it has a chance to open ?
Hard to imagine, but he does appear to get really 'het up' very easily.

I call B******T on the double press idea.
As I understood things with DRS, it opens on the press of the button &
closes when the driver first applys the breaks,
why would anyone design a system where it could be manually closed WITH
THE SAME BUTTON!

Well I heard some ""explanation"" something about equal treatment, they provided Max with a lighter car.
That??? somehow caused the DRS problem.

Not bullshit unless it's a statement, rather than a question.

I actually don't know wrt DRS, but plenty of other things are push-on/push-off.

Related to this, I read a piece (referencing Scarbs) which suggested
that in their quest to slim down, the DRS mechanism had been
re-engineered to reduce its complexity and (hence) weight. They believe they've simply got the tolerances wrong, and that is what led to the unreliability.

Yes... ...but given the bouncy nature of a racing cockpit, making the
CHOICE to do it that way would be really dumb.
I don't think Adrian Newey, or anyone on his team is that dumb.

Did I hear team radio asking something to the effect of "Are you sure
you're not pushing it twice ?" ?

All it would take would be for whatever mechanism triggers the closing
of the DRS (presumably one or more sensors in the brake system) to get a false positive; presumably by the vibrations of running over the kerbs.

Lap 21
Lambiase Max I think you may have closed it last time around. Verstappen Because I?m pressing it 50 fucking times before it opens. Lambiase Just try one button press after the kerb.
