F1 Results Today: Session red flagged TWICE as rain ruins final practice run

A soaking wet Spa-Francorchamps hosted a truncated FP3 on Saturday afternoon, with two red flags being brandished.

The first flew just over ten minutes into the session when Lance Stroll lost control of his car coming out of Radillon, aquaplaning off over the large run-off area and into the wall, destroying his front left suspension.

The large run-off helped mitigate what could have been a terrifying accident, but the impact was still severe enough that Stroll had to visit the medical centre for check-ups as his car was dragged back to the pits.

The session went live when his car was cleared, but the heavy rain meant that no further cars came out to run – and the session was red flagged once again due to the sheer amount of standing water on the track, as the medical car tiptoed around in an attempt to clear some of the puddles.
