Sesongene i både Formel 1, Formel 2 og Formel 3 med Martinius Stenshorne starter i Australia i helgen. Her kan lese mer om årets Formel 3-sesong i en pressemelding fra FIA Formula 3 Championship.
With pre-season testing in the books, FIA Formula 3 is back in action and for the first time ever, racing begins Down Under in Melbourne, Australia.
It will also mark the beginning of a new era, as the new Formula 3 car makes its racing debut with all 30 cars on track and going wheel-to-wheel for the first time.
The Albert Park street circuit provides a stern test for all the drivers, but who will hit the ground running and start their season on the highest note?
It’s always a raucous welcome from the Aussie fans in Melbourne and it has quickly become a favourite amongst the drivers.
Free Practice kicks the weekend off on Friday morning, 08:50 local time. Qualifying follows later in the day, with the grid set for both the Sprint and Feature Races at 14:00 local.
Saturday will provide the first taste of racing action with the new F3 car, the Sprint Race kicking off the 2025 campaign at 11:15 local time.
The first Feature Race of the new season begins at 09:00 local. Who will follow in the footsteps of Gabriel Bortoleto and Dino Beganovic as Feature Race winners in Australia?
