The restart, in standing-start mode, will take place at 3.44pm.
The race direction also adds there will be no further investigations into the contacts that occurred on the first lap. So Kevin Magnussen keeps his 10 points left on his license and will be able to race in the next GP in Canada.
Here is the restart order: Leclerc, Piastri, Sainz, Norris, Russel, Verstappen, Hamilton, Tsunoda, Albon, Gasly, Ocon. Sainz is very lucky, as he will be able to return to the track in the same position obtained in qualifying.
The recorded images show us a further contact in the center of the group between the two Alpines of Gasly and Ocon, with Ocon’s reckless attack at the entrance to the tunnel. We’ll see if both cars will be able to resume the race.
The race direction announces that the restart will be carried out with a standing start, so we start again from the grid, from a standstill.
The contact between Magnussen and Perez will have to be evaluated by the race direction. The Haas driver has just 10 points remaining on his license and, if he is found guilty, he will miss the next race in Canada, replaced by Oliver Bearman.
Accident caused by contact between Magnussen and Perez. The Red Bull crashes into the barriers and then also overwhelms the other Haas of Nico Hulkenberg, who is unable to avoid contact.
RED FLAG! Race suspended! Contact between the two Haas and Sergio Perez’s Red Bull at the back. The Red Bull is totally disintegrated but the Mexican got out of the car on his own two feet and seems to be fine.
GO! Leclerc holds first position, Sainz immediately tries to attack Piastri but has to stop due to a puncture on the front left!
Training tour in progress. There’s very little left until the start of the Grand Prix!
