Bahrain – Main Race: Unstoppable, Câmara continues and takes the lead

Rafael Câmara (Trident) doesn't seem to have any competition at the start of the season. A month after his perfect performance in Australia, the Brazilian was back in the game this Sunday, having once again started from pole position. 

If Callum Voisin (Rodin Motorsport) surprised him at the start despite a good reaction, the protégé of Ferrari did not let himself be put off. Aware of his very good pace, the championship leader took his troubles patiently and didn't rush. He analyzed his English rival and waited until lap 5 to attack. This time, his maneuver at the end of the start/finish straight left his opponent on the sidelines, preventing him from uncrossing or attempting a response under braking for turn 4.

Having rid himself of Callum Voisin, Rafael Câmara then pulled away. Untouchable, the Brazilian only increased his lead with each lap while his pursuers shrank in his rearview mirrors. Thus, he flew to take the checkered flag with a lead of more than 6 seconds and, above all, to secure a second Main Race victory in as many outings this season, with pole position each time. He further consolidated his position as championship leader with 56 points and definitively positioned himself as the favorite for the title this year. Tim Tramnitz (MP Motorsport) completed the podium ahead of Tuukka Taponen (ART Grand Prix) and Nikola Tsolov (MP Motorsport).

After an average start from 9th position, Alessandro Giusti (MP Motorsport) found his strength as the laps went by to move up the field. Starting in 12th, he managed to gain 5 positions to finish 7th. More points for him the day after his first F3 finish. Second Frenchman entered in Formula 3Théophile Naël (VAR) could not do better than 15th even though he started 22nd this Sunday. He nevertheless showed some good things in the middle of the pack where it was very hectic.

The next round of the 2025 Formula 3 season is scheduled for Imola (May 16-18).
