The Spa-Francorchamps Feature Race was Red Flagged after torrential conditions led to two separate stoppages. With no racing laps completed, there were no points awarded in line with the FIA Formula 3 Sporting Regulations.
AS IT HAPPENED
The formation lap began behind the Safety Car, but still in torrential conditions. James Headley spun at Eau Rouge after aquaplaning off the road, while up ahead, Brando Badoer ran into the back of Tim Tramnitz. It left the PREMA Racing driver with race-ending damage and brought out the Red Flags.
After waiting for conditions to improve, the race resumed under Safety Car but there was more action as Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak spun in avoidance of his teammate Nikola Tsolov ahead of Turn 8.
The Thai driver tried to rejoin but found himself beached on a kerb, requiring his car to be recovered. The race was then Red Flagged once again, and the announcement that it would not be resumed followed shortly afterwards.
Due to no racing laps being completed before the final stoppage, no points were assigned.
