The weekend program for F2 and F3 in Bahrain

Promotional packages are also back to school! The three levels of the pyramid car will meet again from the weekend of March 3 to 5 on the same track for the inaugural round of these different championships.

As for Formula 2, the field looks very tight. After his honorary title of vice-champion, Theo Pourchaire aims for only one thing: that of champion of the category. His third year in the category will be decisive, especially since his teammate Victor Martins is not left out. Strengthened by his coronation in Formula 3, the 21-year-old pilot intends to shorten his time in the anteroom of the F1. A pair from ART Grand Prix that promises to spark. But we will have to count on a third Frenchman, Isack Hadjar and his Hitech GP, a meteorite of the Formula 3 landscape in 2022 and with clear intentions: to join the premier category. The Ile-de-France resident is a member of the Red Bull Junior Academy, like five other participants: Jak Crawford, Enzo Fittipaldi, Zane Maloney, Ayumu Iwasa and Dennis Hauger. The latter two will also fight for the title this year, with another big threat to Pourchaire: Jack Doohan, who also serves as a reserve at Alpine.

In Formula 3 too, the battle for the title could be played out between several protagonists. Zak O'Sullivan is partnering with Prema this year and the Briton's season looks promising. Gabriele Mini will also be there with Hitech GP, winning the distinction of vice-champion last year. And the Academy of Team Ferrari will also see its young driver Dino Beganovic, FRECA champion, take to the grid as a contender.

The start of these two championships will therefore be in Bahrain this weekend. The Formula 3 race will take place on Sunday March 5 at 9:50 a.m., when Formula 2 will start at 11:20 a.m. (French time).
