The feature race at Spa was marred by a horrific crash involving Daniel de Jong, whose attempted pass Red Bull Junior driver Pierre Gasly at Blanchimont. The Frenchman cut de Jong's line causing them to make contact and de Jong losing his front wing. de Jong went to the tyre barrier at high speed which left him requiring four hours of surgery on his sixth vertebra, per Sky Sports' William Esler.
