Round 10 Post Feature Race thoughts from the Top 3

FIA Formula 3: Tasanapol Inthapuvasak winner of today’s Feature Race, the final race of the 2025 FIA Formula 3 season and what a way to get it, how are you feeling now?

Tasanapol Inthapuvasak: Really good. To get the win in the last race of the season, it is the best way possible to end on the highest step of the podium. We had a tough season overall. I think the first half of the season was really tough for me with mistakes and issues that we couldn’t avoid. So, to turn it around for the second half and get three victories I am super happy. I want to thank the team for pushing really hard. Today we ended up with a 1-2 finish and also the Teams’ title so really happy.

FIA Formula 3: Can you take us through that move for the lead?

Inthapuvasak: I was third coming into Turn 1 and my aim was to pass Nikola, once I broke and I saw that Benavides broke super early I just sent it around the outside, I think it was a really good move.

FIA Formula 3: After that move we heard you on the radio asking the team to make sure there was teamwork between you and Tsolov, how nervous were you?

Inthapuvasak: I was not so nervous, but I knew that me and Nikola had the pace to pull away from the others. I wanted them to be on the same page and work together for the Teams’ title. I knew it is really important, and I didn’t want to come together with my teammate so that is why I gave that message.

FIA Formula 3: Your team Campos Racing are now Teams’ Champions in Formula 3 for 2025, what does that mean to you?

Inthapuvasak: To me, it means a lot because obviously I worked with the team in the past before and came back to them this year. It’s a team I work really well with, I think I have good chemistry with the team. The whole atmosphere is really good, and we have been pushing really hard throughout the season. Started off really poorly with different issues but we kept pushing and ended up P1 in the Teams’ title, really happy for them as well.

FIA Formula 2: Final question, what is next for you?

Inthapuvasak: For me the next step is Formula 2, and I want to make the step next year. Nothing is confirmed and we have to see what happens. I am going to enjoy this victory first and celebrate with my friends and family.

FIA Formula 3: Nikola Tsolov, runner up of FIA Formula 3 2025 after an epic race here in Monza, how are you feeling right now?

Tsolov: I’m feeling fantastic. I think it has been a long year, a rollercoaster year with ups and downs and trying to find the issues. Something to work on for next year is trying to be more stable with the season. Started off pretty tough and then had a really high mid-season and then low again, then high again. I am happy to finish it off on a high.

FIA Formula 3: You charged through the field to the lead of the race and then you lost it to your teammate, can you take us through the race today?

Tsolov: For me the goal was to be around the podium. To score enough points to be second in the Championship and to secure the title for the Teams’. I trying to manage that all in one race and with the mess that it was there was a lot on my mind. I think I managed it well; the team told me to stay calm and not rush too much into overtaking other drivers. So I stayed behind Brad and then Tas overtook me, so I waited to give him the opportunity to get in the lead and he did it in one corner so good job to him. He did a fantastic race today and that helped us clinch the title by a good margin.

FIA Formula 3: You finished second in the Drivers’ Championship obviously, but how much did you want to Teams’ Championship for Campos?

Tsolov: I wanted it a lot. It’s the second priority, not the first, my first was to finish well in the Drivers’ but it is a team that has always had my back. Even when I was not racing for them, they were always taking care of me which I have always appreciated. It is not just a team it is more like a family to me. It is definitely somewhere I want to stay for as long as I can.

FIA Formula 3: What’s next for you?

Tsolov: I wish I was here saying that I won the title and can’t repeat F3 but it’s most likely going to be step up, but we will have to wait and see what happens next.

FIA Formula 3: Noel León, P3 for you today to end this season with a podium. Just how does that feel?

León: Yeah, it feels great. I didn’t imagine that we were going to have a really great second half of the season given where we started. This is thanks to all the work that the engineers at PREMA have done, all the mechanics, all the people that work really hard to put us on top and we have finished on the podium.

FIA Formula 3: It was an intense race to watch, how was it from the car?

León: Yeah, it was very tense. We adapted the car for more laps as yesterday we were quite fast at the beginning but struggled a little bit with tyres. At the beginning we had a lot of Safety Car restarts, so it was difficult to keep the place. In the end I was very clear, very precise with my moves.

FIA Formula 3: This is not the season that you had hoped for going into 2025 with PREMA, can you tell us what positives you will take with you going into 2026? León: A lot, it has not been a good season in terms of results, but it has been a good season in terms of growing up as a driver. I learnt a lot with them, it would take an hour to describe everything but as a person and as a driver I have grown up a lot.

FIA Formula 3: And so, what’s next for Noel Leon?

León: We will see.

FIA Formula 3: Well, done today, thank you very much.
