It is the final round of the 2025 season and while Rafael Câmara has already sealed the title, there is still so much to fight for in Monza.
The Teams’ title is still up for grabs, while the battle to be runner-up in the Drivers’ Championship is still on, as each driver in the paddock aims to end the year on a high.
MONZA FLASHBACK: Some standout moments from our trips to the Temple of Speed
So, as we continue to preview Round 10, here are a few storylines to keep an eye on…
TRIDENT is looking to seal the double following Câmara’s triumph, and they head to their home race weekend on 282 points, leading Campos Racing by 19 points.
Both are in with a chance of winning the title this weekend, with the Italian team looking to claim their second Teams’ Championship, while it would be the Spanish outfit’s first in Formula 3.
All six drivers – Câmara, Charlie Wurz and Noah Stromsted for TRIDENT and Mari Boya, Nikola Tsolov and Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak for Campos – will have a part to play for their team.
Between the six, they have won 10 out of the 18 races so far this year, and achieved 22 podiums in total, so both teams will be confident their drivers will be in contention this weekend.
Having been so closely matched throughout the year, do not be surprised if it comes down to the final few laps of the Feature Race.

May the best team win!
At the start of the year, each driver would have loved to win the title, but with Câmara having taken that honour, the race to finish as high as possible in the Standings is on.
Currently, Boya is in second with 108 points, with his teammate Tsolov just a couple of points behind in third. Also in contention is Tim Tramnitz, Martinius Stenshorne, Stromsted and Théophile Nael.
All apart from Nael have won at least one race this year, although the Van Amersfoort Racing driver does have three podiums to his name.
So, the form is there and they have all shown what they are capable of doing this year and will be keen to end the campaign in as high a position as possible.
Let us to see who comes out in second.
With the new car having reset the competitive order of the grid at the start of the season, some teams hit their stride quickly, while others have caught up as the year has gone on after a slow opening few weeks.
Surfing in the sun: Ivan Domingues’ Hometown Tour But the final round in Monza gives each team a chance to head off into winter testing with a lot of momentum and putting them in a positive mind frame heading into 2026.
One team especially will hope this is the case and that is PREMA Racing, who scored just eight points through the first five rounds.
But since then, they have scored 69 points and have gone from last to eighth in the Teams’ Standings – and had a few things gone there way on Sunday at Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, and Budapest they might have gone that first win of the season with Ugo Ugochukwu.
The head to home soil now looking to get on the winners table in 2025, but they know their nine other rivals will have the same goal of ending the season on a high in Monza.
