The 2026 Formula 3 season reaches its halfway point this weekend with the fifth round, scheduled at the Silverstone Circuit in England. The two-race format promises another chapter that is viewed differently by the competitors: Ugo Ugochukwu is aiming to surge to the lead, while his rivals fight to close the gap to the American.
Ugochukwu arrives in England with 78 points after four rounds. The runner-up is Freddie Slater, on 62 points, 16 behind the Campos Racing driver. Theophile Nael, on 52, sits third, followed by Bruno del Pino, fourth with 49. Brando Badoer, with 41, closes the top five.
The Brazilian contenders on the Formula 3 grid sit in varied positions within the standings. Pedro Clerot comes off what was his best weekend in the category, with a second and a fourth place in Austria, placing him seventh with 37 points. Fernando Barrichello, nicknamed Fefo, is still chasing his first points of the season.
The schedule will open on Friday (3) with the sole free practice session of the weekend and the qualifying that will determine the starting grid. Saturday will feature the Sprint at 5:35 a.m. The main race is scheduled for Sunday, starting at 4:25 a.m. F1TV will broadcast all the programming.
