STAT ATTACK: The key statistics from the first half of the 2025 season

6 June 2025

We are halfway through the 2025 FIA Formula 3 season and with a few weeks to go until the next round in Spielberg, there is a bit of time to recap the opening months of the campaign.

After five rounds, we have a clear Championship leader and there are certain trends emerging that might continue in the second half of the season.

Making history: Ivan Domingues Barcelona Debrief

So, let’s look at some of the statistics that have helped to define the 2025 campaign so far…

WINS

Rafael Câmara currently leads the Drivers’ Championship by 26 points and that is helped by his three Feature Race victories.

This is tied for the greatest number of wins through the first 10 races of the season, along with Isack Hadjar in 2022 and Zak O’Sullivan in 2023.
However, two of O’Sullivan and Hadjar’s wins were Sprint Races, which means Câmara has won more Feature Races through the first 10 races than any driver in F3 history.
The Brazilian surpasses Victor Martins in 2022 and Gabriel Bortoleto in 2023, who had won Feature Races at this stage, before going to win the title.

In addition to that:

Câmara is part of a group of six drivers to have won a race this year. This is the second lowest number of winners after the first 10 races of any campaign behind the five of 2023.
Santiago Ramos (2), Nikola Tsolov (2), Tim Tramnitz, Martinius Stenshorne and Ivan Domingues are the other drivers to have won a race this year.
Tsolov’s victory in the Monte Carlo Feature Race was his fifth win in Formula 3, making him the most successful driver in the Championship’s history in terms of race victories.

POLE POSITION

Câmara also has the most Pole Positions so far this season, with four. This gives him the most poles in Formula 3 history, one more than Logan Sargeant, Dennis Hauger and Gabriele Minì.

So far in 2025:

The TRIDENT rookie is one of two drivers to have achieved pole this year, the second being Tsolov.
This is the lowest number of pole-sitters after five rounds in F3.
The average gap between the top two drivers in Qualifying is 0.173s so far this year. This is the second-highest margin after the 2023 campaign where it was 0.217s.
Hitech TGR’s Martinius Stenshorne holds the honour of being the only driver to have not been outqualified by a teammate this season.

ROOKIE PERFORMANCES, PODIUMS AND POINTS

Câmara is one of six rookie drivers that has finished the first half of the season in the top 10 of the Drivers’ Championship.

Behind him is teammate Noah Stromsted in fourth, Tuukka Taponen in fifth, Alessandro Giusti in sixth, Théophile Nael in eighth, while Roman Bilinski rounds out the top 10.

In total, eight full-time rookies, which includes the top six, have stood on the podium at least once.

Câmara has done so the most with four, while Giusti became the latest rookie to do so in the Barcelona Feature Race in which he finished third.
The other rookies to have stood on the rostrum are Bruno del Pino, who finished second in the Imola Sprint, while Ivan Domingues won the same Saturday race in Barcelona.
Freddie Slater is another newcomer to have finished in the top three this year, doing so in his lone weekend with AIX Racing at the Sakhir Sprint.
In total, there have been 16 podium-finishers so far, the most after the first 10 races of any Formula 3 season, beating the previous best of 15, set in 2024.

In addition to that:

There have been 213 laps of racing and rookies Giusti, Gerrard Xie, Louis Sharp, as well as Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak are the only drivers to have completed each lap.
25 drivers have scored points after the first 10 races this season, beating the previous mark of 23 set back in 2022.

HOW ARE THE TEAMS DOING?

TRIDENT is on top in the Teams’ Championship with 176 points, and they currently lead second-placed Campos Racing by 46 points. This is historic for many reasons.

The first of which is that the current gap between the top two teams is the second closest margin at this stage of the season, only behind the 42-point lead PREMA Racing had over TRIDENT in 2023.
This is also TRIDENT’s best start to a Formula 3 season ever, eclipsing their previous mark of 171, which was set at this same point in 2023.
Campos’ 130 points is also their finest start to a campaign, as is third-placed MP Motorsport’s 126 points.

TRIDENT have had their best ever start to a Formula 3 season

Van Amersfoort Racing are currently fourth, and in a year where the Dutch team celebrate their 50th anniversary, they have scored 106 points, which is already their best return in Formula 3.
It is a similar story also for Rodin Motorsport in fifth, as 90 points represents their ever F3 campaign.

The 2025 season is also only the second time in F3 history in which PREMA do not have the most wins or lead the Championship at this stage of the campaign.

TRIDENT and VAR currently have the most wins with three each.
Those two teams are part of a group of five that have won races in 2025, tied for the second highest amount at this stage of the season with the 2020 and 2024 campaigns – one short of the record of six set in 2021 and 2022.
