Max Verstappen set the fastest time as rain limited running in the final practice hour ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, a session that was also earlier interrupted when Lance Stroll suffered a dramatic crash.
Just over 10 minutes into FP3, Stroll aquaplaned and spun off heading through Eau Rouge before his Aston Martin hit the barriers. Fortunately the Canadian walked away, while the session was paused as his AMR24 was recovered.

Another red flag followed soon afterwards due to the weather conditions and – while the action resumed for a final two minutes – Verstappen’s early lap of 2m 01.565s on the intermediate tyres remained at the top of the timesheets, 1.433s ahead of Oscar Piastri in second for McLaren.
