The 2022 Monza Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held on 10 and 11 September 2022 at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, Monza, Italy. It was the ninth and final race of the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and was held in support of the 2022 Italian Grand Prix.

In a season finale under dramatic circumstances and a lot of uncertainties at the final stages of the Feature Race, Victor Martins claimed the Drivers' Championship by achieving a fourth-place finish despite receiving a five-second time penalty. The Frenchman also took benefit of several penalties from other drivers, ultimately securing fourth place to win the title by just five points to eventual race winner Zane Maloney, who took his third consecutive Feature Race victory. It was also the first time a driver from ART Grand Prix took the Drivers' Championship in modern Formula 3, after Prema Racing had previously won it in the past three seasons.

However, Prema took its crown back in the Teams' Championship after losing out on Trident in the previous season, taking its third championship in their fourth F3 season.

Driver changes

[edit]

Venezuelan driver Alessandro Famularo made his debut in the series driving for Charouz Racing System to replace David Schumacher who drove for the Czech squad in the previous round in Zandvoort.[1]

This round also saw the comeback of American driver Hunter Yeany, who returned to the series for the season finale after suffering a broken wrist at the Spielberg round wherefore he was ruled out for four rounds.[2]

Feature race

[edit]

The Feature Race was originally scheduled to be run for 22 laps, but was later red-flagged on lap 18 after a collision between Kush Maini and Brad Benavides, that damaged the barrier. However, race direction decided that the race would not be resumed, with the final results have been taken into account from lap 15. As a consequence, Zane Maloney won the final race of the season and took his third consecutive Feature Race win, finishing ahead of both Prema drivers Oliver Bearman and Jak Crawford.[12]
