Ernesto Rivera won the Feature Race in the 2026 F3 Spa-Francorchamps Round at the Belgian GP, ahead of Yamakoshi and Slater, see the full results below.
At the start of the Feature Race, Freddie Slater, who started on pole position, had a slow start off the line, allowing Hiyu Yamakoshi and Tuukka Taponen to capitalise ahead.
Drama struck early, with Matteo De Palo and Yevan David retiring from the race, as well as Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi. A safety car was brought out to retrieve David’s AIX machiery. Naël had to pit for new front wing.
On the restart on Lap 4, Yamakoshi kept his lead, ahead of Taponen and Slater. On Lap 7, Slater made his way past Taponen, and on the following Lap, Slater overtook Yamakoshi down the Kemmel Straight.
Campos Racing’s Ernesto Rivera made his way through the pack, using his speed to take the lead of the race. Slater’s tyres appeared to be struggling in the later moments of the race, dropping down the order.
At the conclusion of the Feature Race, Rivera claimed victory, with Yamakoshi in P2 and Slater in P3. As Ugochukwu finished out of the points, Slater closed in on his championship rival, with only 1 point separating the pair for the Championship lead.
