C3: Schumacher achieves the Grand Slam at the Nürburgring

By starting once again from pole position, Mick Schumacher (Prema Racing) this time has more difficulty containing Robert Shwartzman (Prema Racing) behind him but the German emerges from the first corner in the lead before taking a second ahead of the Russian.

Unlike the other two races of the weekend, the event was not punctuated by incidents requiring the intervention of the safety car. It is therefore without threat that Mick Schumacher signs his third victory of the weekend and joins the rare drivers who made a Grand Slam in the weekend of F3, the latest being Lance stroll.

Robert Shwartzman once again finished second, this time ahead of Alex Palou (Hitech GP) who managed to overtake Dan Ticktum (Motopark) at the first corner. Marcus Armstrong (Prema Racing) and Jüri Vips (Motopark) save the furniture in 5e and 6e position but see themselves relegated to the championship.

Sacha fenestraz (Carlin) concludes his weekend in 7th position ahead of Ralf Aron (Prema Racing). Enaam Ahmed (Hitech GP) and Guanyu-Zhou (Prema Racing) complete the top 10 in a race which sees Schumacher return to just 3 points behind Ticktum in the championship.
