Monaco Grand Prix Interrupted By Three-Car Crash

A dramatic three-car crash on the first lap of the Monaco Grand Prix led to a red flag being raised, halting the race on Sunday. The incident occurred when Red Bull driver Sergio Perez's right rear wheel was clipped by the front left tire of Kevin Magnussen's Haas car, causing Perez to spin into the crash barrier. The impact split Perez’s car almost in half and also sent Nico Hulkenberg's Haas car spinning as he followed behind.

Fortunately, all drivers involved in the crash emerged unharmed and were able to walk back to their team garages. The race was temporarily stopped as debris littered the track and Perez's damaged Red Bull had to be removed by a crane, with the Mexican driver escorted back by race marshals.
