Software is only ever as good as the engineer(s) who wrote it.
Software testing happens before
and after release; how much you do before dictates how little it fails in the wild. The fact that there's a bug suggests inadequate testing of real-world scenarios before using it in anger. I wouldn't crucify the lady/gentleman that wrote it - there's a process that needs tightened up to avoid these cases slipping through the net in testing. My bet is the glitch was patched before end-of-day Monday and it'll never happen again.
To be fair, I'm also not sure the exact location of the safety car lines can be known and neither can the speed a driver may be travelling at to get into the pits. You'd think they'd air on the side of caution though and make it as if the driver is going at normal racing speed and the safety lines as generous as possible to the pitting car. They should've seen this.
