What happened: A Virtual Safety Car was deployed during the Monaco Grand Prix after a car listed as NOR stopped at the Nouvelle Chicane. The incident prompted an immediate speed reduction across the circuit while the situation was addressed.

Why it matters: Track stoppages at Monaco are highly disruptive due to the circuit's tight confines and limited runoff areas. The VSC ensures the safety of marshals recovering the stranded car, though it interrupts run plans, similar to Lando Norris's stoppage noted earlier.

What to watch: The session will resume under green flag conditions once the car is safely cleared from the chicane.
