Hamilton Crashes in Final Belgian GP Practice; Antonelli Sets Pace
Lewis Hamilton crashed his Ferrari at Turn 13 during the final practice session for the Belgian Grand Prix, damaging the right rear of his SF-26 and forcing him to stop on track. His crew now faces a race against time to repair the car before qualifying at 3pm. The session was topped by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who set the fastest time for the second consecutive session, leading Lando Norris and Max Verstappen by 0.1 seconds. Hamilton, who was fifth fastest, apologized to his engineer over team radio. Antonelli, whose title lead has been cut to 25 points, is the clear favorite for pole position. The incident mirrors Pierre Gasly's crash at the same corner on Friday.
