Smolyar took pole at Monza for the title decider, but his weekend unravelled. In the Sprint, Colapinto dominated from start to finish ahead of Bearman and Collet, with Martins managing only tenth for a single point, a costly result with the title on the line. The Feature became the headline. The race was red-flagged in its closing stages after Maini spun at the exit of Lesmo and collected Benavides, both into the barriers, and was not resumed, with results frozen to an earlier lap. Maloney won ahead of Bearman and Crawford. The drama unfolded during the lengthy stoppage: Martins, running third on the road, took a five-second track-limits penalty and was demoted to fourth, momentarily endangering his title, but a subsequent penalty for Alatalo, the new fourth-placed runner, promoted Martins back to the position he needed. That fourth place was enough: Martins clinched the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Drivers' Championship by five points over Maloney, with Bearman third and Hadjar fourth in the final standings. Maloney's win was his third in a row, but Martins' season-long consistency carried the day, and PREMA Racing took the teams' title.
