Badoer Wins Monaco F3 Feature After Start Pass on Nael

The victory reshaped early championship points by rewarding a decisive launch and strong race management on Monaco's tight streets.

Overview

Brando Badoer jumped pole-sitter Theophile Nael at the start and held the lead to claim the Monaco FIA Formula 3 feature race.
A heavy crash for MP Motorsport's Tuukka Taponen into the Rascasse barrier brought out the first safety car and slowed the opening phase of the race.
Maciej Gladysz's attempted pass on Taponen resulted in contact that forced Gladysz into the pits for a front‑wing change and left Taponen unable to continue.
Late-race yellow flags were deployed when Nicola Lacorte stopped on track and when Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi was sent airborne after contact with Yevan David, which affected the closing laps.
Badoer finished 0.527 seconds ahead of Nael with Freddie Slater third, James Wharton set the fastest lap at 1m25.150s, and Ugo Ugochukwu leads the early championship on 43 points.
