Spa-Francorchamps returned from the break with the Sprint rescheduled. Drugovich took pole. In the Sprint, Boschung led early from reverse-grid pole, but Lawson snatched the lead down the Kemmel Straight on lap two and pulled clear to win by around four seconds, with Doohan passing Verschoor on Kemmel to take second and Boschung holding third. A safety car was triggered when Sargeant crashed at Pouhon, and Daruvala failed to start after stalling on the reconnaissance lap. Drugovich, having pitted during the safety-car period for fresh softs, carved back through the field to finish fourth. The Feature swung the title firmly Drugovich's way. From pole he led, but Doohan undercut him during the pit phase and controlled the race to win by around two seconds for a third victory of the year. Drugovich took second and Lawson third, with Verschoor fourth and Sargeant fifth. The decisive blow was Pourchaire's early retirement with a gearbox issue, leaving the Frenchman pointless. With his nearest rival scoring nothing and Drugovich banking strong points, the Brazilian's lead ballooned, taking him to the brink of the championship.
