Round 6 of the FIA Formula 3 Championship wrapped up in Spielberg with a fast-paced, incident-packed Feature Race at the Red Bull Ring. James crossed the line in P28 after a tough morning, gaining valuable race mileage as he continues his return to full fitness.
The race was dominated by Nikola Tsolov, who led from lights to flag in a commanding performance. Behind him, battles raged throughout the field as the 25-lap contest delivered wheel-to-wheel action from start to finish. Stenshorne climbed to second place, while Tim Tramnitz held off a late challenge from Mari Boya to secure the final spot on the podium.
Early contact at Turn 1 damaged Ugochukwu’s front wing, but the PREMA driver managed to recover to P5, just behind Camara — the current Championship leader — who had a busy race, defending, attacking, and ultimately dropping down the order after multiple position changes.
There were standout drives from several midfield runners, with Wurz, Stromsted, van Hoepen, and Voisin all picking up points after carving their way through the pack. The biggest movers included Stenshorne, Tramnitz, and van Hoepen — each gaining 12 places from their starting positions.
Next up: Silverstone. James’s home race, and Round 7 of the championship, takes place from July 4–6.
