Kimi Antonelli has retired due to engine problems. His Mercedes ended up in the gravel, prompting the Safety Car to enter the track. The entire top three, Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris, and Max Verstappen, have dived into the pit lane for fresh rubber. This allows Verstappen to continue hoping for a victory in Spain. The hard compound has been fitted to his RB21, although it is brand new, unlike the softs of both McLaren drivers.
