The safety car was deployed on lap 31 of 51 after Stroll crashed. The failure veered him into the concrete wall ahead of the start-finish straight. In addition, Max Verstappen crashed out from the lead with five laps remaining after suffering a left-rear puncture. The failure sent Verstappen into the concrete wall on the right-hand side of the start-finish straight as he was driving at more than 200mph.
