At the end of the first lap, Red Bull pilot Max Verstappen had an accident at the Cops corner and retired.

The reason for the departure was the contact with the Mercedes car of Lewis Hamilton in the fight for the first position.

The race management decided to stop the race with red flags to restore the damaged safety barrier.

Verstappen was sent to the hospital for examination.
