Roberto Faria claimed his first BRDC British F3 victory in the final race of the weekend at Spa-Francorchamps today (Sunday). The Brazilian driver started fourth on the grid, which was based on the reverse of the qualifying order, but overtook teammate Mikkel Grundtvig for the lead on the penultimate lap, and took the win by 1.6 seconds. Grundtvig held on to second, while a time penalty for Reece Ushijima, who had finished third for Hitech, meant that series newcomer Hunter Yeany was promoted to the position, completing a Fortec top-three lockout. 

Carlin’s Christian Mansell and Arden’s Roman Bilinski were the two BRDC British F3 race winners on Saturday at Spa-Francorchamps.  Mansell triumphed in wet conditions in race one, while Bilinski took both his and Arden Motorsport’s first win in the championship in a dry second race. The same three drivers finished on the podium in both races, with Zak O’Sullivan finishing second twice, and opening up a commanding lead at the top of the championship standings as a result. 

Carlin duo Zak O’Sullivan and Christian Mansell were the winners of two frantic BRDC British F3 races on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit today (Sunday).  O’Sullivan triumphed in this morning’s race two, taking advantage of lap one drama to claim his first victory in BRDC British F3 ahead of Fortec’s Ollie Bearman and Hitech GP’s Reece Ushijima.

Chris Dittmann Racing’s Ayrton Simmons had a near-perfect start to the 2021 BRDC British F3 Championship, claiming a double pole in qualifying and converting his grid position to victory in the first race of the year. Simmons finished just over a second clear of debutants Ollie Bearman (Fortec) and Zak O’Sullivan (Carlin) in this afternoon’s season opener to take an early championship lead following lights to flag victory.
