F1 Results Today: Lewis Hamilton ‘destroys’ Ferrari in late crash at Belgian Grand Prix

Here are all the times from the final hour of practice at Spa-Francorchamps

The final hour of practice ended in dramatic fashion at Spa-Francorchamps on Saturday as seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton managed to seriously smash up his Ferrari at the F1 2026 Belgian Grand Prix.

Hamilton confirmed he was ok after the late incident which took place in the final minute of FP3, saying over team radio: “Yeah destroyed the car mate, sorry,” clipping the exact same tyre barrier that Pierre Gasly did before an almost identical crash on Friday.

Ferrari are now right up against the clock to check that Hamilton’s car is capable of competing in qualifying in just over two hours.

Hamilton finished the session fifth-fastest, one place above team-mate Charles Leclerc.

Kimi Antonelli shot to the top of the timesheets ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris, whilst signalling yet again that fellow Mercedes star and title rival George Russell could be in trouble as the weekend progresses in Spa.

With Saturday’s competitive qualifying now the next session on the schedule, Russell’s worrying lack of pace has been confirmed after FP3 saw the Brit seriously struggle to match the scorching times set by his teenage team-mate.

The 28-year-old finished FP3 down in fourth, one place behind four-time champion Max Verstappen.

Check out the full results from the final practice in the Ardennes forest below.

It was here that she confirmed her dream of combining her background in journalism and love of motorsport, going on to volunteer with the female-led platform Empoword Journalism.

Having completed stints as a screen editor and sports editor, Kerry landed her first F1-specific editorial role with GPFans and has thoroughly enjoyed continuing to work closely with the sport ever since.

The access GPFans offers Kerry has allowed her to interview big names such as Naomi Schiff and David Coulthard and given her experiences she could only have dreamt of as a young F1 fan.
