Lewis Hamilton Learns Fate for Belgian GP Qualifying After Heavy Crash

Lewis Hamilton will take part in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix following a heavy crash in FP3 at Spa-Francorchamps. The seven-time world champion brought out the double yellow flags at the end of the session after crashing at Turn 13.

What Happened?

Hamilton's accident was almost a carbon-copy of Pierre Gasly's crash on Friday. The Briton's car suffered damage to the floor, rear suspension, and wing. However, the Scuderia will be able to repair his car on time, meaning he can take the fight to Mercedes for pole position this afternoon.

The Briton will now turn his attention to qualifying, where he will look to quickly put his crash behind him and secure a good starting position for Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.

What Comes Next?

Hamilton's accident interrupted the final hour of practice and left the Ferrari garage facing a race against the clock. The Scuderia will need to work quickly to repair Hamilton's car and get him back on the track. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz have been summoned to the stewards after a near-collision behind the double yellow flags brought out by Hamilton's crash.

The four-time world champion was left incensed by the Williams of Sainz closing rapidly on the back of his Red Bull. Verstappen immediately vented his frustration over team radio, saying: "What the f***? My god! It's, like double yellows and this car, it like, almost crashes in the back of me. Unbelievable."

The stewards will now decide whether Sainz will face a penalty for allegedly failing to slow under yellow flags. The incident has added an extra layer of tension to the Belgian Grand Prix, with Hamilton and Verstappen set to go head-to-head in qualifying.
