Reports from Spa say Pierre Gasly crashed late in Friday’s second practice for the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix, bringing out a red flag. BBC Sport reported the Alpine driver was involved in a heavy accident near the end of FP2, while Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli set the quickest time of the session.

Autosport reported the incident happened on the exit of Les Fagnes after a snap of oversteer. It also said Alpine and Gasly later addressed what happened, though the details remain part of emerging reporting rather than an official FIA account in the supplied sources.

Gasly went into the weekend ninth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 42 points. The French driver, born on 7 February 1996, has 187 Formula 1 entries since 2017, with one win and six podiums.
