Charles Leclerc crashed out of the Monaco Grand Prix ahead of the Safety Car restart. After the drivers did a couple of laps on the circuit, the race was stopped with a red flag for tarmac inspection.
That is for inspecting a track break-up at Turn 19, with 10 laps to go. Kimi Antonelli currently leads ahead Lewis Hamilton and Isack Hadjar.
The race will restart at 17:12 local time (16:12 GMT). Follow the Monaco Grand Prix with GPblog's liveblog here!

More drama for Leclerc and Russell

The Ferrari driver was in third place ahead of the Safety Car restart following Lance Stroll's incident, but crashed into the barrier in the last corner. Over the radio, the home favourite was fuming. He said: "I'm not even going to take the blame! These brakes!"

George Russell could also lose further positions after failing to serve his five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane during his second stop of the day. The Briton is now under further investigation.
