Italy-Emilia Romagna

Imola delivered a Trident lockout in qualifying, Ramos heading Fornaroli and Meguetounif. The Sprint was a chaotic war of attrition: León led from the front rows and held station through four safety-car periods, fending off Goethe and Tramnitz. A late virtual safety car to recover the beached Browning set up a dramatic restart, on which Goethe got the better launch and passed León on the final lap to take the chequered flag. A tangle of safety-car-procedure penalties followed: Goethe and Tramnitz were initially sanctioned but later had their penalties rescinded once it emerged the timing system had misapplied the rules, reinstating Goethe as the winner of his maiden F3 race. León's separate penalty for weaving behind the safety car dropped him to third behind Tramnitz. In the Feature, Fornaroli passed pole-sitter Ramos for the lead before a technical problem dropped him back, handing Goethe the front. Meguetounif then reeled Goethe in and passed him in the closing laps to take his maiden F3 win, with Goethe holding second to deny Trident a one-two and Fornaroli recovering to third. The double scores propelled Fornaroli into the outright championship lead over Browning.
