The Formula 3 will introduce the € 1million award funds to financially support drivers who carry forward the junior single-seater ladder.
Starting with the ongoing 2025 season, will share the top five finisher pots in the championship to help progress in Formula 2.
Under the arrangement, the title winner will receive € 300,000, the remaining prize will be distributed on a sliding scale at the fifth place with the amount. Finisher, a second place, will receive € 250,000, third -placed driver will get a house of € 200,000, while drivers classifying fourth and fifth will get € 150,000 and € 100,000 respectively.
However, F3 has determined that the prize money will be given only to drivers going to F2 next year, otherwise it will be eligible to the next largest placed driver.
The initiative has topped Pirelli’s long -time 300,000 award for the champion, which means the 2025 title winner will secure a total of € 600,000 in his F2 graduation.
