The 2024 Monte Carlo FIA Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held between 23 and 26 May 2024 at the Circuit de Monaco. It was the fourth round of the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix.
Prior to the weekend, Jenzer Motorsport announced GB3 Championship race winner James Hedley as a replacement driver for Matías Zagazeta, after the Peruvian driver was ruled out of this round due to appendicitis. [1]
Gabriele Minì set the fastest qualifying time at the Circuit de Monaco for the second consecutive year, with Christian Mansell setting the fastest time in the second group. Nikola Tsolov started the sprint race from pole position and maintained the place, whilst Tim Tramnitz claimed second place from Laurens van Hoepen at the first corner. Mansell and Arvid Lindblad then collided at the Casino Square corner, causing their retirements and eliminating three other drivers who were caught up in the accident. The race was red-flagged to clear the track. Tsolov held his position when racing resumed, and through another safety car restart when Kacper Sztuka retired, to claim his first victory in the category.
Minì led the start of the feature race ahead of Mansell and Browning. Racing was interrupted by three safety cars; firstly when Piotr Wiśnicki collided with Charlie Wurz, secondly when Sami Meguetounif crashed whilst attempting to avoid the collided cars of Tsolov and Noel León, and thirdly when Van Hoepen hit the wall attempting to overtake Joseph Loake. The top three drivers maintained their places through each restart and Minì took his first win of the season. His victory promoted him to the lead of the Drivers' Championship, four points ahead of Browning.
Qualifying for Group A was held on 24 May 2024, at 11:05 local time (UTC+2).
