Belgium

Spa was a de Vries weekend. He took pole for Prema in cool, overcast conditions, having had an earlier lap deleted for track limits before responding with a blistering middle sector. A pre-race downpour left the circuit greasy, but the field started on slicks, and de Vries led from pole and was never in doubt, winning by around three seconds and setting fastest lap. Russell suffered heavy wheelspin off the line and was demoted to third by Sette Câmara into La Source, recovering to finish third. Norris held off Albon on the final lap as the DAMS man dive-bombed Les Combes and ran off, while Markelov beat Ghiotto to the line for sixth by under a tenth. A late safety car was needed when Fukuzumi's car caught fire. The Sprint went to Latifi, who led from reverse-grid pole lights-to-flag and set fastest lap. de Vries rocketed from eighth to third by the first corner and climbed to second, but his tyres collapsed with two laps left, and Norris passed him on Kemmel on the last lap with Albon following through, only for Norris to defend hard and hold second. Russell could finish only seventh, and his championship lead was cut to five points.
