FIA Formula 3 Round 5 Barcelona

Formula 3 — June 6, 2023

Barcelona before the break!

Please take a look back at the Spanish GP with us, where we saw Mari score consistent points during his home race and Franco back up on the podium for the Feature Race!

Qualifying

The Qualifying session in Barcelona was tough as it was very hot. We had a good result with Franco in P3, P8 for Mari at his home race and P13 for Jonny. This meant that with the top 12 reversed for the Sprint Race on Saturday, Mari was starting P5, with Franco behind in P10 and Jonny in his original qualifying position of P17.

Feature Race

With the Feature Race on Sunday our starting positions were as originally qualified, with Franco P3, Mari P8 and Jonny P17. With a podium finish in sight, Franco started the race off strongly and managed to bring it home in P2! Mari had a very good Feature Race at his home circuit of Barcelona-Catalunya, ending the race in a season-best finish of P6. Jonny made up two places and ended up in P15.
