Classification
editQualifying
editQualifying was held on 19 July 2024, at 15:05 local time (UTC+2).
Notes:
- ^1 – Luke Browning originally qualified in seventh place, but his best lap time was deleted after causing a red flag. With his laptime removed from the results, Browning drops from seventh in the original Qualifying order down to P15, moving each driver behind him up one position each.[4]
- ^2 – Sebastián Montoya failed to set a time within the 107%-rule, but was later given permission by the stewards to start both races from the back of the grid.
- ^3 – Joshua Dufek originally qualified in sixth place, but was later disqualified from the results as it was found that his car had been below the minimum weight required, contravening Art. 5.1 of the FIA Formula 3 Championship Technical Regulations.[4]
Sprint Race
editThe Sprint race was held on 20 July 2024, at 09:50 local time (UTC+2).
Notes:
- ^1 – Alex Dunne was handed a ten-place grid-penalty after the Silverstone round for re-joining the track in an unsafe manner.[6]
- ^2 – Piotr Wiśnicki and Kacper Sztuka both received a three-place grid penalty after qualifying for impeding Dino Beganovic and Sebastián Montoya. As a consequence, both started the Sprint race from P25 and P27 respectively.[4]
Feature Race
editThe Feature race was held on 21 July 2024, at 08:25 local time (UTC+2).
Notes:
- ^1 – Matías Zagazeta and Arvid Lindblad collided with each other and retired, but they were classified as they completed over 90% of the race distance.
- ^2 – Laurens van Hoepen originally finished second, but was later disqualified as it was found that his car had not met the minimum weight requirement, a breach of Article 5.1 of the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Technical Regulations. Thus, all drivers behind him have been moved up one position each, with Leonardo Fornaroli taking over the final spot on the podium in third.[8]
