On Lap 17 Albon gets by Leclerc to take P13. Nothing to really shout about for either driver, it must be said. Albon still has his five-second time penalty to serve, as Leclerc pits at the end of that lap.
Yellow flag
Magnussen reports "something broke" has he pulls to the side of the track within sight of the pitlane.
Safety car
With the stranded Haas car in a tricky place to be rescued the safety car is out.
Hamilton pitted - but Sainz, Norris and Perez have had to stay out as the pitlane entry was closed!
Information
Now, the timing board says that the pitlane entry was closed as the safety car came out. And both Hamilton and Giovinazzi pitted...
Information
Lewis Hamilton and Antonio Giovinazzi are under investigation for entering a closed pitlane.
Track marshals are pushing Magnussen's Haas car across the grass and into the pitane. Naturally, the pitlane isn't closed for a car that is no longer in this race, but for the rest of them it is.
Information
The pitlane is now open for business.
Sainz and Norris double stack - Norris manages to buy a little time by locking up at the entry.
Stroll is the only driver not to pit once the pitlane opens so he is up to second place behind Hamilton.
And the safety car is coming in this lap! The plot thickens a little more...
Information
Raikkonen and Latifi are sitting pretty, having already stopped!
Information
Gasly pitted as well, as had Leclerc, so they're right up the order.
Latifi, who had pitted safely before the safety car, is being eaten up as he drops from P7 to P10 at the restart.
We don't know what's happening any more.
Crash
Leclerc! Huge crash at the Parabolica!
Yellow flag
Leclerc's okay, thank goodness. We have a safety car for that.
Information
Giovinazzi has been given a 10-second stop/go penalty for entering the pitlane when it was closed.
Ah, Leclerc just got a bit of a tank-slapper running off-line at the Parabolica and slapped into the tyre barrier.
Red flag
The race has been red-flagged.
They're going to need to repair the tyre barriers, so the race has been paused forthwith.
Radio Comms
"Are we going to get a penalty?" Hamilton asks his Mercedes team. "I believe we are going to get a penalty," comes the response from Pete Bonnington.
So, let's take a breather as the cars are being led around to the pitlane. We're at pretty much exactly half-distance. Hamilton leads, but has a 10-sec stop and go.
Stroll is second, and yet to stop. Gasly HAS stopped, and he's P3. Raikkonen has stopped and he's fourth, from Giovinazzi - who also has a stop-go.
Information
Hamilton has indeed been given a 10-second stop/go penalty for entering the pitlane when it was closed.
The marshal pulls out a smoking wheel from the tyre barrier. Tonight, we salute the silver anniversary of the great Springfield Tire Yard Fire, twenty-five years and still burning strong!
The rest of the top 10: Sainz, Norris, Bottas, Latifi, Ricciardo. All bets are off at this point.
Information
You know how we mentioned Norris locking up, backing up the pack at the pitlane? He's now under investigation for that.
Hamilton, who currently leads this race under the red flag stoppage, will need to serve his 10-second penalty once the race restarts. Hamilton is discussing the situation with Bonnington out of his car in the pitlane.
Hamilton jumps on his scooter to presumably take a different kind of 10-second stop-go.
Because we're red flagged, Stroll doesn't have to pit - he can take fresh tyres.
As if the red flag and penalty action wasn't keeping the race stewards busy enough, a first turn incident involving Perez and Verstappen has been noted.
Twitter
Information
The race will restart at 16:20 local time - in 10 minutes time.
17 drivers will take this restart, assuming there are no further issues, having already lost Vettel, Magnussen and Leclerc from this race.
So, a little over five minutes before we get back underway. Let's see what we get for the second half of this race.
Information
We should be getting a standing start too, as if things couldn't be any more interesting.
Information
Norris has been cleared of any penalty for his slow pitlane entry, locking brakes moment, as the race stewards confirm no further action for the McLaren driver.
Information
No radio communications on the lap to the grid, says race control.
Green flag
The cars leave the pitlane, and the clock starts again.
