Rafael Camara wins the 2026 FIA Formula 2 Feature Race at Spa-Francorchamps after a red-flag interruption. The race runs to a shortened 21 laps and turns on discipline and timing.
The Invicta Racing driver adds fastest lap, banking 26 points. Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak finishes second for ART Grand Prix. Nikola Tsolov secures third for Campos and protects his championship advantage.
Camara’s maximum, including fastest lap, yields 26 points for Invicta Racing.
Post-race penalties reshape the order. Alex Dunne drops from second at the flag to fourth. Noel Leon falls from on-track fourth to seventh for repeated track-limits breaches.
Gabriele Mini limits damage. He serves a five-second penalty for Turn 1 contact during his stop and climbs to fifth after a measured recovery drive.
The key disruption arrives on lap nine. Laurens van Hoepen crashes heavily at Malmedy, prompting the second red flag of the weekend after turbulence in the Spa sprint.
Red flag on lap nine cuts the race to 21 laps, followed by a rolling restart with 24 minutes remaining.
Van Hoepen’s weekend is already compromised by qualifying gearbox problems. The crash ends a difficult run for the ART driver.
The restart comes via a rolling procedure. Race time reduces to 24 minutes, locking in strategy for those who have already stopped and compressing margins for any late calls.
Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. triggers a later safety car, but early stoppers retain track position. Camara manages the phase cleanly and maintains control to the chequered flag.
Rafael Villagomez finishes sixth after a tidy stint for Van Amersfoort Racing. Colton Herta takes eighth for Hitech, converting pace into reliable points.
Nineteen drivers are classified. Retirements include Roman Bilinski, Emerson Fittipaldi Jr., Laurens van Hoepen, and Dino Beganovic after incidents and mechanical setbacks.
In championship terms, Tsolov’s third is pivotal. He preserves the lead as Camara closes, setting up a tighter run into the season’s midpoint.
Penalties decide the podium’s supporting cast, demoting Dunne and Leon as Tsolov maintains the points lead.
The regulatory squeeze at Spa is unforgiving. Track limits and contact penalties prove decisive, underscoring precision over outright aggression in Formula 2.
Attention now turns to upcoming rounds and evolving strategies around Belgian Grand Prix tyres and the demands of Circuit Spa-Francorchamps. The outcome also reframes the picture in the F2 championship standings.
