Monaco Grand Prix track springs a leak

A small stream of water was found to be flowing across the pit straight, forcing Thursday session to be red-flagged for around five minutes as officials investigated the problem.

It is suspected that a water pipe under an area of track that was recently resurfaced had burst, pushing water up to the surface, with the gradient of the circuit causing it to run across the grid.

However, it looks like the drivers will have to put up with the minor water hazard, as race organizers will not be able to dig up the tarmac to repair the problem.

Luckily, the stream does not appear to be affecting any drivers.
