Revision as of 03:22, 14 February 2023

The 2023 FIA Formula 3 Championship is a planned motor racing championship for Formula 3 cars that is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The championship will be the fourteenth season of Formula 3 racing and the fifth season run under the FIA Formula 3 Championship moniker. It is an open-wheel racing category that serves as the third tier of formula racing in the FIA Global Pathway. The category will be run in support of selected rounds of the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship. As the championship is a spec series, all teams and drivers that compete in the championship will run the same car, the Dallara F3 2019.[1]

Prema Racing will enter the championship as the reigning teams' champion, having secured their title at the last race of the 2022 season.

Entries

The following teams and drivers are under contract to compete in the 2023 championship.[2] As the championship is a spec series, all teams will compete with an identical Dallara F3 2019 chassis and tyre compounds developed by Pirelli.[1][3] Each car is powered by a 3.4 L (207 cu in) naturally-aspirated V6 engine developed by Mecachrome.[4]

Team changes

German Formula 4 team PHM Racing took over the entry and assets of Charouz Racing System at the end of the 2022 season, and is set to run in cooperation with the Czech squad under the PHM Racing by Charouz moniker.[5]

Carlin will compete under new ownership in 2023. The New Zealand-based car manufacturer Rodin Cars became majority shareholder of the team. With that, the team will now be called Rodin Carlin.[6]

Hitech partnered with hardware company Pulse-Eight during the offseason, changing the official name of the team to Hitech Pulse-Eight.[7]

Driver changes

Reigning teams' champion Prema Racing renewed their lineup completely, as Oliver Bearman, Arthur Leclerc and Jak Crawford all made the step up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship.[8] The team promoted two of their Formula Regional European Championship drivers to replace them: Ferrari protégé Dino Beganovic, who won the title, and Mercedes junior Paul Aron, who came third.[9][10] Partnering Beganovic and Aron will be Williams Academy driver Zak O'Sullivan, moving from Carlin, with whom he came eleventh in 2022.[11]

Trident also changed their full lineup, as Roman Staněk and Zane Maloney moved up to Formula 2 and Jonny Edgar switched to MP Motorsport.[12] Gabriel Bortoleto will be making the step up from the Formula Regional European Championship, where he came sixth in 2022.[13] Joining him will be 2022 Euroformula Open champion Oliver Goethe, who deputised for Hunter Yeany at Campos Racing at two events in 2022, and Formula Regional European rookie champion Leonardo Fornaroli.[14][15]

ART Grand Prix will replace Victor Martins, who won the drivers' title with the team in 2022, with the reigning F4 Spanish champion and Alpine affiliate Nikola Tsolov.[16] Juan Manuel Correa will also leave the team to return to the Formula 2 championship.[17] His seat will be filled by Kaylen Frederick, 2020 British F3 champion, who came 17th with Hitech Grand Prix in his second season in FIA F3 in 2022.[18]

MP Motorsport's three drivers were all replaced. Kush Maini will join Campos Racing in Formula 2, with Mari Boya promoted from MP's Formula Regional European Championship team to replace him, after the Spaniard came tenth in 2022.[19][20] Jonny Edgar will take over Alexander Smolyar's seat, moving over from Trident, with whom he came 12th in his second F3 season in 2022.[12] The lineup will be completed by Williams Academy driver Franco Colapinto, who came ninth in 2022 with Van Amersfoort Racing and will swap teams with Caio Collet.[21][22]

Hitech Pulse-Eight recruited 2022 Formula Regional European runner-up Gabriele Minì,[23] who replaces Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar, who will leave the series to join Formula 2.[24] Kaylen Frederick also left the team and joined ART Grand Prix.[18] His seat will be filled by Sebastián Montoya, who made his championship debut in 2022 when he replaced the injured Yeany at Campos in Zandvoort.[25]

Van Amersfoort Racing signed Caio Collet, 8th in 2022 with MP Motorsport, to replace Franco Colapinto.[22] Reece Ushijima will be superseded by Tommy Smith, who had been driving in regional F3-level series since 2019, most recently GB3 in 2022, where he took one win on the way to 19th with Douglas Motorsport.[26]

Carlin will field an all-new driver lineup, with Zak O'Sullivan switching to Prema, Brad Benavides graduating to Formula 2, and Enzo Trulli stepping away from the series.[27] The latter two will be replaced by 2020 F4 US champion Hunter Yeany, moving over from Campos after an injury-curtailed season, and Ido Cohen, who drove for Jenzer in 2022 and will return to Carlin, with whom he competed in 2021 and in the 2020 Euroformula Open Championship.[28][29] The team also signed one Williams Academy driver to replace another, with O'Sullivan's seat being taken over by 2022 British F4 vice-champion Oliver Gray.[30]

Campos Racing signed Christian Mansell, who had already contested two Formula 3 rounds at Charouz Racing System in 2022, to replace David Vidales, who moved to the Japanese Super Formula Lights.[31][32] Hunter Yeany also left the team to join Carlin and will be replaced by 2022 Spanish F4 and French F4 vice-champion Hugh Barter.[28][33]

Jenzer Motorsport will have an all-rookie lineup in 2023 to replace Carlin-bound Ido Cohen, Federico Malvestiti and William Alatalo. Alex García will be making his Formula 3 debut after a seventh place in the 2022 Euroformula Open Championship with Motopark.[34] Alongside him will be PHM-backed Nikita Bedrin, who steps up to the category after two years in Formula 4, with a high point of fourth place in the 2022 ADAC and UAE F4 championships.[35] The last seat will be filled by another PHM-supported F4 graduate in Taylor Barnard, last years' ADAC F4 vice-champion.[36]

New entrant PHM Racing by Charouz hired Sophia Flörsch for their first season in the championship.[37] Flörsch previously drove for Campos Racing in 2020 and had competed in endurance and sportscar racing since then. She will replace Francesco Pizzi, who will leave FIA F3 to join TJ Speed in USF Pro 2000.[38] Their second seat, which was shared by a handful of drivers in 2022, will be filled by Roberto Faria, who competed in GB3 for the last three years, coming fifth in the latter two.[39] The final seat was taken by Piotr Wiśnicki, who graduated to FIA F3 after a season in the Formula Regional European Championship to replace László Tóth.[40]

Formula 2 and Formula 3 will run with 55% sustainable fuel in 2023. In a bid to decrease the championships' carbon footprint, an incremental gain in usage is planned until the 2027 season, where usage of 100% sustainable fuel is planned.[44]
