What happened: A full safety car was deployed during the Bahrain Grand Prix after Albon's Williams became stuck in gear. Marshals required a recovery vehicle to lift the stranded machine behind the barriers. The incident occurred on Lap 46 of the 55-lap race.

Why it matters: The late-race interruption compressed the field for the final stint. The delay introduced an unexpected restart variable with nine laps remaining.

What to watch: Race control will determine the restart procedure once the recovery vehicle clears the track. The remaining laps will finalize the finishing order.
