Historic Podium for Sri Lanka

While Ugochukwu claimed the top spot, the race also featured a historic milestone for motorsport. Yevan David, driving for AIX Racing, put on a "defensive masterclass" to finish in P2. In doing so, David became the first Sri Lankan driver in history to stand on a Formula 3 podium.

Campos Racing Doubles Up

It was a successful outing for Campos Racing, which managed to place two cars on the podium. Théophile Nael secured third place for the team after a dramatic final-lap maneuver, overtaking Trident’s Matteo De Palo at the very last corner of the race to snatch the final podium position.
