Fueled by Monaco Podium, Pedro Clerot Aims to Maintain His Ascent in F3 in Barcelona

June 10, 2026

After clinching his first podium in Formula 3, Pedro Clerot is set to contest this weekend the third round of the 2026 season at the Circuit de Barcelona in Spain, aiming for more solid results and to move up in the standings. The Rodin Motorsport driver scored in both Monaco races last weekend and sits sixth in the championship alongside Taito Kato, with 16 points accumulated after two double-header rounds.

Following a points finish in the main race in Australia at the season opener, Clerot celebrated a third place in the Sprint held in Monaco, always traveling in the leaders’ pack. In the main race, the Brazilian advanced to eighth position right from the start and held that place to the checkered flag, marking his third top-10 in four races this year. Now in Barcelona, the driver hopes to sustain the strong form he’s shown this season.

“We come from a very strong weekend in Monaco, where I earned my first podium of the year. Now we head to our second weekend of racing, this time in Barcelona. I’m very excited and confident to get back on track and chase more positive results for the remainder of the championship,” said Pedro Clerot, who is sponsored by Banco BRB.

The Formula 3 program in Barcelona kicks off on Friday (the 12th), a day that will feature the weekend’s lone free practice and the qualifying, scheduled for 10:00. Saturday is dedicated to the Sprint, which will start at 5:05, while the main race takes place in the early hours of Sunday, with a start at 3:40. F1TV will broadcast the full schedule.
