It means one of the drivers erred. When up shifting, if one goes from first to third, he missed second, and will rapidly lose power and speed.
If one down shifts and misses a gear, say from third to first, he may over-rev the engine and could ruin it by bending valve stems or doing other damage.

when he tried to shift into a gear he did not get it on the first try causing a delay that could cost him the race

Generally it means that person just lost the race by not being focused and paying attention.
