Maciej Gladysz inherited the Formula 3 Feature Race victory at Silverstone after Matteo De Palo was disqualified following technical checks.

The FIA Technical Delegate reported that De Palo's car did not meet the diffuser minimum-height requirement in Article 3.4.1 of the championship's 2026 technical regulations. Measurements put the right side three millimetres below the minimum and the left side one millimetre below.

The stewards found the car non-compliant and concluded that the competitor had not provided evidence that removed its responsibility to meet the regulations. The decision consequently changed the race winner after the chequered flag.

Separate sporting investigations also altered the order. Ernesto Rivera received a five-second penalty for weaving beyond the point permitted in the Race Director's notes and lost his podium position. The amended outcome underlined why the British round's on-track finish could not be treated as the final result.
