Race control has confirmed that the race🌠 will restart with a standing start.
Former F1 driver turned Sky pundit Anthony Davidson believes the crash was sim🅺ply a racing incident.
"I think Ricciardo reacts to Stroll on his lefthand side. ܫThat's u🐬nfortunate. It wasn't Albon's fault and it wasn't Ricciardo's," Davidson said.
"Ricciardo is going for the racing line and three into one do🥀esn't really go. It's a racing incident and wrong place, wrong time for Albon."
After 🐓a delay, the race restarted and was won 𒊎by Max Verstappen.
Tyre strategy, and the clash between Ricciardo and Albon, were the top ꧃ta🍨lking points.
