What happened: Arvid Lindblad reported a mechanical problem during running at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace. Racing Bulls engineers instructed the driver to pull over and park in a safe location.

Why it matters: The stoppage disrupts track time for Racing Bulls as the team defends its standing in the constructors' championship. The Italian outfit entered the weekend in fifth place with 108 points after putting both cars into Q3 at the United States Grand Prix.

What to watch: Race control will determine whether recovering the car requires neutralising the session. Racing Bulls will assess the issue once the car returns to the pit lane.
