In turn 12, Myles Rowe clunked the inside kerb, unfortunately making contact with Max Garcia. #Car 12 ended up with a broken front wing and left front suspension damage, while the two-time race winner from 2025 had a broken right rear suspension.

Rowe did return to the race and was handed a penalty for the incident.
