Durksen and Stenshorne were both weaving beyond Blanchimont on the restart. The cars in positions one and two will almost certainly get penalties.
We're back ahead of qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix. The Formula 2 sprint race is coming to a close, with the safety car pulling in to allow a final-lap shootout for victory. We'll keep you up to date on that before turning back to F1, and Hamilton's rapid repair work at Ferrari.
Carlos Sainz has been placed under investigation for allegedly failing to slow under double-waved yellow flags during final practice at Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix.
The incident happened in the closing moments of FP3 shortly after Lewis Hamilton crashed at Turn 13, causing significant damage to his Ferrari and leaving the team in a race against the clock to fix the car in time for qualifying.
Sainz came up fast behind Max Verstappen who was slowing for the double-waved yellow flags at the scene of Hamilton’s accident. The Williams driver locked up in his attempts to slow down after passing Verstappen and his actions did not impress the four-time world champion.

Ferrari face a race against time to try and fix Lewis Hamilton's car in time for qualifying after the seven-time world champion's FP3 crash.
Sky Sports F1 is reporting that Ferrari "think the car will be ready" in time for qualifying, having assessed the heavy damage to the rear of Hamilton's SF26.
And with that, it's time to take a short break, before we return about an hour before qualifying. That session is set to take place at 3pm BST, so we'll be back at 2pm BST.
Until then, have a good one!
2026 F1 Belgian Grand Prix - Final Practice Results
Kimi Antonelli led the way in final practice at the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix, as Lewis Hamilton crashed out in the closing stages.
Antonelli held the advantage that he had established in second practice on Friday, once again leading Lando Norris and Max Verstappen.

You can see for yourself just how similar Hamilton's crash was to Gasly's. But with Hamilton, as he hit the kerb, the off-board angle shows how the Ferrari took off and effectively flew into the barrier. There was no chance of recovering that one.
Kimi Antonelli fastest in final F1 Belgian GP practice as Lewis Hamilton ‘destroys’ Ferrari in crash
Formula 1 championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli was once again fastest in final practice at the Belgian Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton crashed.
Antonelli, who also ended Friday practice with the quickest time, was 0.139 seconds clear of McLaren’s Lando Norris, while Max Verstappen wound up third-fastest for Red Bull, 0.148s off the pace.

Huge damage, and a lunch break gone for Ferrari, as Hamilton stands the other side of the barriers, watching the field go by.
Exactly the same as Gasly, Hamilton lost the rear of his Ferrari, and slammed into the barriers at the Fagnes chicane. Again, like Gasly, the right-rear tyre has been ripped from the chassis, and this will be a race against time to get the car ready for qualifying.
There could also be a gearbox and power unit change needed, which would incur grid penalties.
Disaster for Hamilton. He has smashed into the barriers in a mirror image of Gasly's crash yesterday.
The flag falls and these will be the final times.
Leclerc improves to sixth place, one place behind Hamilton, but over three-tenths back on his team-mate.
This is very silly from some of the traditional backmarkers or midfield teams. Sainz, Gasly and Bearman all get in the way of Leclerc's latest hot lap. The Ferrari driver is forced to abort, and that could well be his session over.
'I need some slipstream, ' says Leclerc. Is Ferrari going to play some games in qualifying? We saw how badly that went in F3 earlier in the weekend, with 11 drivers being slapped with penalties for trying to sort that in an unsafe manner.
Had this been qualifying, Antonelli's time would have been deleted after exceeding track limits at the final corner heading onto his lap. Track limits will be a major talking point in the later session.
It's a slower 1m46.255s this time around. Still, that would put him clear of Russell and in third, had he not already put in his previous lap.
Antonelli's first sector is just 0.058s slower than his previous lap, so it's still strong. He's picking up speed through the middle of the lap.
After looking strong early on, Hamilton is now in seventh place with Leclerc, in the second Ferrari, in ninth. The coming laps will give a clearer picture of where the Scuderia are in the pecking order.
Antonelli aborts his lap at La Source. He missed the final gearshift into the corner, and cut his losses.
Russell improves but is still 0.367s behind Antonelli in third. He drops back to fourth as Norris improves and goes second. Antonelli now begins his second run.
Verstappen improves to seconds but is 0.148s shy of Antonelli. The Dutchman sarcastically tells Red Bull that his upshifts are "brilliant". A regular complaint.
Green sectors all over the place, indicating personal bests. No purple session bests though.
Here come the drivers for the final runs in FP3. Mercedes is looking at every part of Russell's car, desperately searching for a reason for the 1s deficit to Antonelli.
Fourth F1 driver gets huge grid penalty for Belgian GP
Fernando Alonso is the latest driver to take a grid penalty at Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix.
Two-time world champion Alonso has had a fourth energy store, fourth control electronics unit, and sixth power unit ancillary component fitted to his Aston Martin.

The top 10 with 20 minutes to go are:
- Antonelli
- Hamilton
- Verstappen
- Russell
- Leclerc
- Lindblad
- Piastri
- Hadjar
- Lawson
- Norris
