C3 – Mick Schumacher signs his first victory in F3

At the start, the drivers all started on slick tires while the entire climb from Kemmel and to Combes remained very wet after a passing shower. Starting from pole position, Guanyu-Zhou (Prema Racing) saw its hopes of victory disappear after contact at the start of the race, thus continuing its dark weekend.

The race lead is made up of three Prema Theodore Racing drivers, with Marcus Armstrong leading for a long time ahead of Robert Shwartzman. It was without counting on Mick Schumacher who, ten minutes from the end, passes his two teammates at Eau Rouge then at Combes. The German even managed to create a comfortable mattress on his teammates, something that Armstrong had not been able to achieve earlier in the event.

Mick Schumacher wins his first race in Formula 3 European and ahead of her rookie teammates Shwartzman and Armstrong. Jüri Vips (Motopark) finished just off the podium in front of his teammate Daniel Ticktum. Enaam Ahmed (Hitech GP) ranks 6e in front of the two Motoparks of Jonathan Aberdein and Sebastian Fernandez.

Alex Palou and Fabio Scherer complete a top 10 in the colors of Prema, Hitech and Motopark. Sacha fenestraz (Carlin) finishes at 15e position.
