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. However, Leclerc's race took a turn when he crashed into the same wall as Stroll shortly after the restart, leading to his recovery by stewards. Both drivers exited their vehicles unharmed, but Leclerc expressed anger over the incident, attributing it to brake issues. Despite the crashes, Stroll and Leclerc refrained from directly blaming the track conditions. The race has been challenging for many, with Max Verstappen and Lando Norris also experiencing mechanical failures, and George Russell facing a drive-through penalty that could impact his standings.
