F3: Spa feature race red flagged after torrential conditions

F1 Grand Prix, GP Belgium, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps

After a thrilling Sprint Race on Satuday, Sunday's F3 Feature Race was red flagged due to torrential conditions at Spa-Francorchamps. With no racing laps completed, there were no points awarded on Sunday.

After Mercedes junior driver Noah Stromsted won yesterday’s sprint race, Sunday's Formula 3 Feature Race took place in torrential conditions.

There were a couple of incidents on the formation lap, with Brando Badoer and Tim Tramnitz colliding down the Kemmel straight while James Hedley spun at Eau Rouge.

While Tramnitz and Hedley were able to bring their damaged car back to the pits, Badoer was forced to park his car out on the track.

The race was then red flagged due to the torrential conditions, but the plan was to resume the action once the conditions improved.

The field headed out onto the track behind the safety car, but, even at the reduced speed, Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak spun into a stop at the exit of Turn 9.

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.

Rafael Câmara takes a 28-point advantage to Budapest, retaining the lead of the Drivers’ Championship on 126 points ahead of Nikola Tsolov in second, on 98. Tim Tramnitz is third on 93 with Mari Boya fourth on 85 and Martinius Stenshorne rounds out the top five on 80 points.

TRIDENT top the Teams’ Standings with 232 points ahead of Campos Racing on 221. MP Motorsport follow in third on 164 ahead of Van Amersfoort Racing on 124 and ART Grand Prix on 119 in fourth and fifth places respectively.
