Noel León disqualified as Dino Beganovic receives penalty after F2 Spa Feature Race

León disqualified from the Feature Race results

Noel León has been disqualified from the FIA Formula 2 Feature Race at Spa-Francorchamps following a breach involving headset equipment during the Red Flag period.

After the race, the Stewards heard from Nikola Tsolov, with León having already left the circuit, as well as a representative of Campos Racing. The team explained that the person involved was a guest who had inadvertently taken the wrong type of headset.

The decision also carries a wider consequence for Campos Racing. The team has had 25 championship points withdrawn, although the deduction is suspended. It will only be activated if Campos commits another breach of the same article of the 2026 FIA F2 Sporting Regulations at an FIA F2 event during the remainder of the 2026 season.

The ruling adds another post-race twist to a Feature Race already shaped by Safety Car interruptions, a Red Flag and penalties, as detailed in our report on Rafa Câmara’s chaotic F2 Belgian GP Feature Race victory.

Beganovic handed five-second penalty

Dino Beganovic has also been penalised, receiving a five-second time penalty for moving before the start signal.

The Stewards reviewed video evidence and telemetry before concluding that the driver of Car 7 spun his tyres and moved considerably after the third light had appeared but before the start signal was given. That constituted a jump start under the circumstances examined by the officials.

However, the Stewards also considered the circumstances that followed. The DAMS Lucas Oil driver stalled and was pushed into the pitlane before retiring from the Feature Race.

Taking that retirement into account, the Stewards elected to apply the least severe penalty available to them: five seconds. The sanction therefore reflects both the offence identified at the start and the fact that Beganovic was unable to continue in the race.
