Doohan beats Martins to Belgium F3 feature race victory

Starting from p𒊎ole position, Doohan led from theꦰ front after several formation laps behind the Safety Car.

Martins had the advantage in the🌺 early laps, remai꧋ning within a second of Doohan.

It wasn’t until Lap🍸 5 when Martins decided to make a move, as the pair ran side-by-side through Bruxelles and into Turn 11.

The Frenchman got through on the outside of Pouhon but exceeded track limits by doing so, meaning he was likely to pick up a five-seco🐻nd time penalty from the stewards.

Martins relinquished the lead into Bruxelles a lap later and from then on, he didn’t get another chance t♛o challenge Doohan for the victory.

Doohan took the win at Spa༒ by 2.0s as he continued to reduce Dennis Hauger’s lead at the top of the championship.

Starting from 14th on the grid, Hauger made dec🍎ent progress in the early phase of the race.

After dispatching his teammate Arthur Leclerc, Hauger made light work of Jak Crawford into Les Combe♛s on Lap 3.

A lap later he was past Roman Stanek and on Lap 5, he overtook Johnathan Hogga🍬rd into Les Combes for ninth. 

His progress was t🍒hwarted by  David Schumacher, having to wait until Lap 10 to make the move for eighth - where he ultimately finished.

The top four finished wꦿhere they started - Doohan ahead of Martins, Aleksandr Smolyar and Caio Collet.

Fr⛦ederik Vesti got past Logan Sargeant on the𓃲 penultimate lap for sixth, with Hauger finishing just behind.

David Schumacher and Arthur Leclerc rounded ou൩t the top ten at Spa.

Next up for the F3 teams is a trip to Zandvoort🥃 next weekend as a support race for F1’s Dutchꦛ Grand Prix.
