What happened: Hadjar crashed heavily exiting Swimming Pool during FP1 for the MonacoGP, bringing out a red flag. On team radio, he said he did not understand why the car snapped and apologized after the incident.

Why it matters: A crash in Monaco practice can have outsized consequences because track time is limited and barriers leave little margin for error. The stoppage also adds repair pressure before the next sessions on a circuit where qualifying position is especially important.

What to watch: Watch for updates on car damage, any session-time loss and whether Hadjar returns for later Monaco running.
