Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari team faces urgent preparations for Belgian Grand Prix qualifying after Hamilton crashes at the end of final practice. Multiple reports say the crash happens in the concluding stage of the session, leaving the team with limited time to repair the car before qualifying begins. The same session is again led by Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli, who sets the fastest time and finishes at the top of the practice leaderboard. Both outlets describe Antonelli’s performance as topping the final running session for the Grand Prix, reinforcing Mercedes’ pace heading into qualifying. Hamilton’s incident disrupts the Ferrari programme for that session, with attention shifting to damage assessment and mechanical work needed to return the car to race-ready condition. The reports therefore focus on two concurrent developments: Antonelli establishing early competitive form in practice, and Hamilton’s crash creating a time-critical challenge for Ferrari ahead of the next session.
