Following the shocking incident, the race stewards first implemented the Virtual Safety Car, in which drivers are required to reduce their speeds to a certain limit. However, with the wreckage still not clear, the full Safety Car was then implemented two minutes later. At this time, the full field was brought together. But when the debris was not cleared, the stewards finally decided to red flag the race to give marshals enough time to fix the barrier.
