2026 Austria F3: Full results after penalties applied

Noah Stromsted and Ernesto Rivera took the top honours as Formula 3 visited Austria.

The Sprint Race was a rather sedate affair by F3 standards, with Rivera quickly making his way through the field to take the lead for Campos Racing. 

The race was divided between those looking to save their tyres to the end, and those hoping that the rubber would cling on in the sweltering conditions.

Speaking in the cool-down room after the Saturday race, top three Rivera, Pedro Clerto, and Jin Nakamura were surprised at the lack of tyre problems, but conceded that the longer Feature Race could prove an issue.

However, this did not prove to be the case, possibly due to interventions from the Safety Car and Virtual Safety Car on Sunday, which allowed drivers to cool their tyres for a brief period.

Battles throughout the field raged, with Stromsted stealing in late on to take advantage of a gloves-off war between TRIDENT team-mate Freddie Slate and Ugo Ugochukwu after Jin Nakamura's bid for the victory faltered.

Slater and Ugochukwu both led on numerous occasions, but repeated contact in the closing laps, even after Stromsted had got past, kept the respective pit walls on the edge of their seats.

After the race, Alessandro Giusti was hit with a 10-second penalty for a starting infringement, dropping him to 22nd place. 

The full results from both of the weekend's races can be found below.
