Bahrain

Sakhir opened the 2024 F3 season with Beganovic taking a maiden pole for PREMA, edging Browning and Minì. The Sprint, run off a reversed grid, belonged to Lindblad on his F3 debut weekend: starting fourth, he hunted down early leader Tsolov, was rebuffed when Tsolov defended with DRS, then made the move stick a lap later and pulled clear to win by over five seconds. Van Hoepen recovered to second after running wide, while Fornaroli snatched the final podium spot from Tsolov late on. Beganovic's weekend unravelled in the Sprint with a first-lap puncture, and Browning was demoted from the points by a ten-second penalty for gaining a lasting advantage off-track. The Feature flipped the story. Beganovic bogged down from pole and was swallowed at Turn 1, handing Browning the lead into the first corner; from there Browning controlled the race to take his maiden F3 victory by around 1.2s. Mansell shadowed him all afternoon for second, and Tramnitz completed the podium with a late dive past Meguetounif. Ramos, Minì, Fornaroli and Lindblad rounded out the front runners. Browning left Bahrain leading the championship, four points clear of Tramnitz.
