The Monaco Grand Prix was red flagged and halted on lap 68 following crashes involving Charles Leclerc and Lance Stroll at the final corner. Investigations revealed that sections of the tarmac had deteriorated, prompting officials to assess the safety of the track. The FIA has since issued a resumption order, allowing the final 10 laps to be run. Kimi Antonelli led the restart after a Safety Car deployment, with Lewis Hamilton and Leclerc following.
