The 2026 24 Hours of Spa have taken a dramatic turn. The AF Corse #51 Ferrari, shared by Alessio Rovera, Tommaso Mosca and Nicklas Nielsen, has surrendered the race lead after dominating the opening stages. A tyre failure roughly four and a half hours into the race abruptly ended its stint at the front.
From the very start, the Ferrari looked untouchable. Even minor time penalties failed to threaten its advantage, while successive safety-car interventions repeatedly erased the gaps it had built. Around 30 minutes after the latest restart, disaster struck when the left-rear tyre suddenly deflated exiting the Bus Stop chicane. According to the official live stream, a tyre pressure warning was issued before.
