Ferrari has been forced to change several parts on Lewis Hamilton's SF-26 following the Briton's accident in the closing seconds of third practice at the Belgian Grand Prix.
In an incident identical to Pierre Gasly's in Friday's second practice, Hamilton ran off the circuit on the exit of Turn 13 and made contact with the barrier.
Hamilton bounced through the gravel and rejoined the circuit, although the rear of his car sustained significant damage, as did the barrier.
The seven-time world champion was forced to stop on the circuit after his right-rear wheel was left hanging, leaving the Scuderia in a race against the clock to complete the repairs before qualifying.
Thankfully, the Maranello-based outfit completed the repairs in time for Hamilton to take part in qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps.
According to Sky F1, Ferrari had to fit a new floor, rear wing and gearbox to the 41-year-old's car, although the latter was changed purely as a precaution.
