But perhaps the race stewards had their own plans. Although there was a lot of debris on the track, they didn't bring out the red flag, instead choosing to close the pit lane and deploy the safety car.
The reason for closing the pit lane was that Stroll's crash happened outside the pit lane entrance, and pitting at this time could very likely cause a secondary accident.
So the stewards only deployed the safety car.
Fortunately, Stroll climbed out of the car on his own, and it seemed like he wasn't seriously injured.
When the director switched to Stroll's perspective at the time of the crash, he could be seen driving smoothly when suddenly the rear tires seemed to lose grip, and the entire rear started to shift to the right.
The car's front tire grip was then compromised, causing the car to crash directly into the left side barrier.
