The 2024 Imola FIA Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held between 17 and 19 May 2024 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, Italy. It was the third round of the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Trident achieved a 1-2-3 classification in qualifying at Imola Circuit, with Santiago Ramos on feature race pole position ahead of teammates Leonardo Fornaroli and Sami Meguetounif. Kacper Sztuka started the sprint race from first place, but was overtaken by Noel León at the first corner. León held the position ahead of Oliver Goethe and Tim Tramnitz through four safety car restarts. A virtual safety car was deployed on the penultimate lap after sixth-place Browning collided with Sztuka and retired in the gravel. Racing resumed on the final lap, and a faster reaction from Goethe allowed him to gain the lead from León and cross the finish line first. Goethe was initially penalised for a safety car procedure infringement, but the penalty was later reversed and his position reinstated. [1]
Pole-sitter Ramos held the lead at the start of the feature race, but was overtaken by Fornaroli on lap three and would ultimately drop to eighth place by the end. Goethe, who started seventh, made his way up to second place and then gained the lead when Fornaroli slowed with a mechanical issue. This allowed Meguetounif into second place, who then caught and passed Goethe with four laps remaining. Meguetounif achieved his first win and podium in the category and was joined on the podium by Goethe and Fornaroli, who was able to recover positions and now led the Drivers' Championship by three points over Browning.
