Armstrong was placed behind Jüri Vips in both Drivers' and Rookies' standings. While fellow Estonian driver Ralf Aron was behind Armstrong in the driver standings. Prema Theodore Racing successfully defended the teams' championship title, winning over Motopark with one round to spare, and maintaining their record of being the only team to have won the teams' championship since the FIA Formula 3 European Championship was launched in 2012.[4]

Champion Mick Schumacher took 8 wins - one each in Belgium, Italy, Great Britain. He took a hat-trick at the Nürburgring and he won two races at the Red Bull Ring.
