2026 F1 Belgian Grand Prix - Friday Practice Results

Kimi Antonelli ended Friday as the fastest driver, setting the pace in a Belgian Grand Prix session twice halted by red flags.

The Formula 1 championship leader topped the order with a 1m45.944s effort, with Lando Norris punching an unexpected time to go second fastest on a day that, to that point, had been dominated by Red Bull. 

Max Verstappen was third fastest for Red Bull, with Lewis Hamilton slotting in ahead of Isack Hadjar. 

After a delayed start to his session while a hydraulic problem was fixed, Oscar Piastri was seventh, from the impressive Franco Colapinto. 

The day ended on a less positive note for Pierre Gasly in the second Alpine, after he made heavy contact with a barrier and will be lucky to have escaped without gearbox or power unit damage. 

The full results from FP2 at Spa-Francorchamps can be found below.

Max Verstappen topped first practice at the Belgian Grand Prix. 

The Dutchman led the way with a 1m17.070s effort, putting him clear of Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. 

In the opening session of the weekend, McLaren and Mercedes appeared to be a step behind the lead trio. 

Isack Hadjar was fourth fastest for Red Bull, but he will not feature in the pole battle on Saturday after receiving a back-of-the-grid penalty having taken a raft of new power unit components. 

Oscar Piastri led the way for McLaren in fifth place, but a hydraulic problem in the closing stages cast a shadow over his session.
