The Italian Grand Prix at Monza was interrupted by a red flag after Charles Leclerc lost control of his Ferrari and crashed into the barriers at the Parabolica.
Leclerc, who started third, went off on the third of the race’s scheduled 53 laps. The crash damaged the protective barriers at the final corner, forcing officials to stop the race while repairs were carried out. The Ferrari driver got out of the car on his own and apparently had no injuries.
George Russell led the race for Mercedes when it was halted. Pierre Gasly, who had started from pole position, was second, followed by four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Argentina’s Franco Colapinto was fourth in the other Alpine.
Leclerc had won at Monza for the second time two years earlier.
