The quickest Red Flag in F1 history

[tawdry escarp]

I was thinking about the 2020 Bahrain GP the other day, and wondered if Grosjean's crash caused the quickest Red Flag in F1 history. I timed it and found out approximately how long it took:

• Bahrain GP 2020: ~30s
  But then I thought of another race that was stopped quickly:
• British GP 2022: ~22s
  My question to you all is this: has there been a quicker in-race Red Flag in F1 history?

Monaco 2024: ~15-20 second.

It was actually ~55s, the leaders had got to the Nouvelle Chicane before they flew the reds.

the reds must've been flown earlier before they've completed sector 1 because they restarted from their original starting positions

No, I timed it and it was approximately 55s.

The reason they used the original starting order is because Zhou was behind the MAG/HUL/PER crash and he hadn't completed sector 1

remember that it's not shown instantly on TV

but don't the leaders have to complete S1?

Yeah but visibly that's when the reds started waving. And they pop up the top of the timing tower early when there's a red
