Monaco

Monaco delivered drama on its unforgiving streets. Badoer topped Qualifying Group A and Naël Group B, with Badoer taking the Feature pole. The Sprint was won on the road by Yamakoshi from reverse-grid pole, but the Van Amersfoort car was disqualified in post-race scrutineering for a technical infringement, promoting Xie to a maiden F3 victory and DAMS Lucas Oil's first F3 podium. Del Pino inherited second and Clerot third, ahead of Giusti and Strømsted. The opening lap was marred by a heavy crash involving Benavides, who was launched into the barriers and later confirmed to have suffered back injuries. In the Feature, Badoer launched well to lead from the front and controlled the race for a maiden win. An early Safety Car was triggered when Taponen crashed at the final corner; Badoer nailed the restart and immediately built breathing space. He held Naël at a safe distance to the flag, winning by just over half a second, while Slater completed the podium a distant third as Monaco's processional nature opened large gaps behind. Ugochukwu, fourth, retained the championship lead.
