Ernesto Rivera won the 2026 Formula 3 Belgian Feature Race at Spa-Francorchamps. The Mexican Campos Racing driver started from fourth and charged through the field to secure his maiden F3 Feature Race victory. Pole-sitter Freddie Slater suffered a slow getaway off the line, dropping behind Tuukka Taponen and Hiyu Yamakoshi on the opening lap. After Slater fought back to lead on Lap 8, his tyres began to degrade. A patient Ernesto Rivera, sporting slight front-wing endplate damage from a previous skirmish, used a powerful DRS slipstream to take the definitive lead on Lap 12. Championship Impact: Points leader Ugo Ugochukwu failed to score. This allowed Slater to close the Drivers' Championship deficit down to a single point
