Theophile Nael secured his first FIA Formula 3 victory with a commanding performance in Barcelona. The Campos Racing driver resisted early pressure to take the win, as his teammate Ugo Ugochukwu also made it to the podium.
Theophile Nael took his first FIA Formula 3 win in style, leading from start to finish in the Barcelona Feature Race. Starting from pole, the Campos Racing driver faced initial pressure from Van Amersfoort Racing's Hiyu Yamakoshi but ultimately pulled away to secure victory. Yamakoshi claimed second, marking his first podium in F3.
Campos Racing had more reason to celebrate as Ugo Ugochukwu overcame a sluggish start to finish third, rounding off a successful home race for the team. Meanwhile, Rodin Motorsport's Brando Badoer maintained his strong form by finishing fourth, just ahead of the Van Amersfoort duo of Enzo Deligny and Bruno del Pino.
Red Bull Junior Ernesto Rivera ensured all three Campos cars scored points by finishing seventh. He capitalized on TRIDENT's Freddie Slater receiving a five-second penalty for gaining an advantage off-track, which relegated the Brit to eighth. The ART Grand Prix pair of Taito Kato and Maciej Gladysz completed the top ten.
With the Barcelona action wrapped up, attention now shifts to the rest of the season as the drivers continue their quests for glory in the competitive world of F3.
