Esteban Ocon parked his Haas on the grass at the side of the track, becoming the first dropout of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. “Stop the car, we have a problem,” the Frenchman was told via the radio.
The Virtual Safety Car was deployed and Max Verstappen took full advantage of this situation. The Dutchman made his first pit stop and thus lost less time, while Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris had already made their pit stops earlier in the race.
