Virtual safety car deployed as Ferrari's Bortoleto stops on track

Ferrari reported that on lap 8 of a 62-lap Formula 1 race, a virtual safety car was deployed after Bortoleto pulled off the track. At that point Charles Leclerc was running second for Ferrari with Lewis Hamilton third. The early stoppage compressed the field and handed teams a strategic decision on pit timing.

Why now: A mid-race virtual safety car shakes up race strategy and positions, drawing immediate attention from F1 fans.
