The 2024 Monza Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held between 30 August and 1 September at the Monza Circuit. It was the final race of the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship and was held in support of the 2024 Italian Grand Prix.

Contents

Leonardo Fornaroli was crowned 2024 Formula 3 Drivers' Champion after a last-lap-overtake on the final corner over Christian Mansell in the Feature Race. He became the first Italian driver to win the Formula 3 championship as well as the first champion to take the title without winning any race across the entire season.

This weekend also marked the final one using the Dallara F3 2019 chassis, which debuted in the inaugural 2019 season. Starting in 2025, a new chassis will be introduced. [1]

Background

Driver changes

Oliver Goethe vacated his seat at Campos Racing and moved up to Formula 2 with MP Motorsport to replace the Formula One-bound Franco Colapinto. [2] The Campos seat was filled by Formula Regional European Championship driver Noah Strømsted. [3]

Championship standings before this round

Going into the final race of the season, six drivers still had chances of winning the title, with Leonardo Fornaroli leading the championship with 129 points, being only one point ahead of second-placed Gabriele Minì. Further back, the two Brits Luke Browning and Arvid Lindblad were placed in third and fourth with 123 and 112 points, respectively. Dino Beganovic entered the final round in fifth position, having scored 100 points, three points clear from sixth-placed Christian Mansell (97). Even though Oliver Goethe (94 points) who was seventh in the standings, mathematically still had slim chances of winning the championship, he was ruled out of contention prior to the weekend following his promotion to Formula 2.

However, the Teams' Championship was already wrapped up at the previous round in Belgium in favour of Prema Racing, who secured its fifth Teams' Championship in six seasons with an unassailable 115-point-lead over ART Grand Prix, with 89 points still on the line.
