Formula 3

13 March – 8 September 2025
The FIA Formula 3 Championship is the first official step on the Road to F1, giving young drivers the platform to prove themselves on the global stage. Created by bringing together GP3 and European F3, the series was designed as the starting point for ambitious racers who dream of reaching the Formula 1 paddock.
With some of the world’s best junior teams and rising stars from across the globe, F3 has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting championships in motorsport.
The category is built as a learning ground for Formula 2 and, ultimately, F1. Drivers must not only show raw speed, but also master tyre management, strategy, and consistency across an entire race weekend. With two races per round and reverse grids in play, success comes from performing under pressure and making every point count.
Racing on the same weekends as Formula 1, F3 drivers showcase their talent on legendary circuits while gaining the exposure needed to take the next step in their careers. Thanks to key partnerships, F3 continues to evolve as a technologically advanced yet cost-controlled championship. The FIA oversees the sporting and technical side, while Formula 1’s expertise in broadcasting and promotion ensures F3 has a global reach.
Formula 3 remains the launchpad for the best young drivers in the world as they fight for the chance to move up the ladder toward Formula 1.
