F3: Ernesto Rivera storms through for Spa Feature Race win

There was no stopping Ernesto Rivera in Belgium as the Campos Racing driver claimed his maiden Feature Race victory and second overall of the 2026 FIA Formula 3 season.

The Red Bull Junior Team driver started from fourth on the grid but was patient in the early stages, before putting on a clinical showing in the second half of proceedings.

Rivera dispatched Tuukka Taponen, Hiyu Yamakoshi and then overtook Freddie Slater en route to the lead. From there, the Mexican never looked like being threatened, as he escaped DRS range to the chasing pack and claimed the win.

Yamakoshi wound up second for Van Amersfoort Racing as he came back through on Slater before the end with a DRS move of his own.

Slater, who'd claimed pole on Friday, lost out at the start with a poor getaway but moved back into the lead by the halfway stage of the Feature.

But, the TRIDENT driver couldn't hold on, with Rivera and then Yamakoshi making passes leaving the Briton to fend off Mattia Colnaghi and Maciej Gladysz for the final spot on the podium.

The Audi Development Driver finished third and, with Championship leader Ugo Ugochukwu failing to score, cut the deficit in the standings down to a single point: 104 points to 103.
