Robert Shwartzman concludes the Paul Ricard weekend in style

Prema Racing is untouchable in the FIA F3 This year. After Jehan Daruvala's victory yesterday in the main race at Paul Ricard, it is the Russian Robert Schwartzman who triumphed this Sunday after a great comeback in the peloton.

The resident of the Ferrari Driver Academy patiently moved up the hierarchy, taking the advantage at the same time over the first leader Alex Peroni (Campos Racing), who started from pole under the reverse grid rule, and Yuki tsunoda (Jenzer).

The Australian subsequently lost several positions to Pedro Piquet (Trident) and Tsunoda. The latter will also not be able to counter the ride of Daruvala, back in second place.

Piquet, however, managed to regain second place at the very end of the race, behind the winner Shwartzman. Daruvala, however, signs a second podium in two races in the Var.

The top 5 is completed by Richard Verschoor and Liam Lawson (MP Motorsport) ahead of Marcus Armstrong (Prema), who had missed his start from the top 4 before falling to the bottom of the ranking.

Disillusionment for David Beckmann (ART Grand Prix) forced to retire after a puncture, while the German was in the top 10 at the start of the race. Shwartzman took the opportunity to consolidate his leadership in the general classification.
