Driver changes

edit

Multiple driver changes took place for the fourth round at the Silverstone Circuit. On the weekend before the Silverstone round, Trident confirmed that Jonny Edgar would return to the series after missing the previous two rounds following Crohn's disease he sustained on early April 2022.[1]

Zdeněk Chovanec also returned to the championship after last competing at the 2021 Sochi Formula 3 round, driving for Charouz Racing System.

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, MP Motorsport driver Alexander Smolyar was denied of getting a visa for the entry into the United Kingdom. Hence, he was not able to take part at the fourth round in Silverstone and was then replaced by Romanian driver Filip Ugran, who returned to the series after competing in the previous season.

Notes:

  • ^1Rafael Villagómez received a five-second time penalty for lining up on the grid outside of the confines of his grid box, which is a breach of Article 37.9 of the FIA Formula 3 Sporting Regulations. Both Charouz drivers László Tóth and Zdeněk Chovanec received the same penalty, but the penalties became invalid as they eventually retired from the Sprint Race.
