The FIA Formula 3 Championship returns to action this weekend in Bahrain, and for 2022 it’s back racing alongside Formula 2 at the same events, with a nine-round calendar set for the season.

Last year, honours were split among two Italian teams. Red Bull Junior Dennis Hauger clinched the drivers’ title for Prema Racing, leading from the off in supreme style to beat Jack Doohan. But it was Doohan’s Trident squad that snatched the teams’ championship away from the previously dominant Prema squad by just four points. With Hauger and Doohan among those moving up to Formula 2, new challengers will emerge this season. Among them are three Britons who all made the finals of the Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award in 2021.
