Anthoine Hubert, the series champion.
ART Grand Prix successfully defended the teams' championship.

The 2018 GP3 Series was the ninth and final season of the second-tier of Formula One feeder championship and also ninth and final season under the moniker of GP3 Series, a motor racing feeder series that runs in support of the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship and sister series Formula 2. This was the final contested season of GP3, as the series united with the FIA Formula 3 European Championship to form the FIA Formula 3 Championship.[1]

2018 was the final season that the Dallara GP3/16 chassis package—which débuted in the 2016 GP3 Series—was used in competition, as a brand new chassis package for the FIA Formula 3 Championship was introduced in 2019.

After finishing 3rd in the final feature race of the last season of GP3, Anthoine Hubert was crowned the 2018 GP3 Champion. ART successfully defended their teams' title over Trident after the first race at Sochi, winning the teams' title in eight of the nine seasons of GP3.[2]

Runner-up Nikita Mazepin won 4 races; in Barcelona, Hungaroring, Spa-Francorchamps, and Yas Marina. After having four rounds with Jenzer Motorsport, David Beckmann moved to Trident before the summer break and took 3 race wins. Champion Anthoine Hubert, Callum Ilott, Leonardo Pulcini, and Pedro Piquet all won 2 races. Also, Giuliano Alesi won the second race in Spain, Jake Hughes won for the third time in the series at the Red Bull Ring, and Dorian Boccolacci, who drove for MP Motorsport before being promoted to their Formula 2 team won the sprint race at the Hungaroring.

2018 GP3 Series

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The 2018 GP3 Series was the ninth and final season of the , an FIA-sanctioned open-wheel racing championship serving as a primary feeder series to . Contested over nine rounds that supported the Formula 2 Championship, the season featured two races per event—a longer feature race on Saturday and a shorter sprint race on Sunday—and concluded at the in , marking the end of the category before its merger with the in 2019. The season was dominated by , which fielded a four-car lineup including Renault F1 junior Anthoine Hubert, Ferrari protégé Callum Ilott, Russian driver Nikita Mazepin, and British driver Jake Hughes, securing the teams' championship with a record eighth title in nine seasons of GP3 competition. Hubert clinched the drivers' title in the penultimate round at before wrapping it up in , finishing 16 points ahead of Mazepin after a penalty dropped the latter in the finale's feature race; Ilott rounded out the podium in third. The championship included seven teams—ART, , , , , Prema Powerteam, and —competing with GP3/16 chassis powered by 3.4-litre V6 engines producing around 400 horsepower. Notable highlights included Prema's debut entry, bringing fresh competition from the dominant European F3 squad, and strong performances from midfield challengers like Campos' Leonardo Pulcini (fourth in standings) and Trident's Pedro Piquet (sixth), the son of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet. The calendar spanned from Paul Ricard in May to Abu Dhabi in November, visiting circuits such as Barcelona, the Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, the Hungaroring, Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, and Sochi, with races showcasing intense battles among future F1 prospects. Tragically, Hubert's title triumph was overshadowed by his fatal accident in a 2019 Formula 2 race at Spa-Francorchamps, leading to lasting tributes in junior series racing.

Background and Regulations

Series Overview

The GP3 Series was an FIA-certified single-seater racing championship established in as a key feeder series to Formula 2 and Formula 1, providing young drivers with high-level competition to develop skills for grand prix racing. The season marked the ninth and final edition of the series, running from May 11–13 at the to November 23–25 at the , comprising nine rounds held as support events to the . Each round featured two races—a longer feature race and a shorter sprint race—for a total of 18 events—using the GP3/16 . In a pivotal development, the FIA announced the series' discontinuation after 2018, merging it with the to create the unified starting in 2019, aiming to streamline the junior ladder to Formula 1. The season concluded dramatically at the finale, where of secured the drivers' title with 214 points.

Technical Specifications

The 2018 GP3 Series mandated the use of the for all competing teams, a model introduced in 2016 that remained in service through the season as part of the series' emphasis on cost control and uniformity ahead of its merger into the . This carbon fiber monocoque chassis incorporated aerodynamic features designed to facilitate overtaking, including a drag reduction system (DRS) on the rear wing introduced in the prior year, with the overall package weighing approximately 630 kg including the driver. Powering the cars was a standardized 3.4-litre naturally aspirated developed by , delivering around 400 horsepower at 8,000 rpm to ensure parity across the grid. The engine was paired with a mandatory six-speed sequential semi-automatic gearbox supplied by , featuring paddle-shift operation and a standardized (ECU) to minimize development costs and maintain competitive balance. Pirelli served as the exclusive tire supplier, providing P Zero slicks in two compounds—typically soft and medium—for each race weekend, with allocations limited to promote strategic tire management without refueling stops. Safety standards included a carbon fiber for structural integrity and the mandatory Head and Neck Support () device, though the halo cockpit protection system was not yet implemented, as the series operated under pre-merger regulations. Fuel was supplied by ELF in a low-emission unleaded formulation (LMS 102 RON), with a tank capacity of 65 litres per car to align with the no-refueling format.

Scoring System

The 2018 GP3 Series employed a points-based scoring system to determine the drivers' and teams' championships, emphasizing performance in both the feature and sprint races held each weekend. Points were allocated to encourage competitive across the field, with higher rewards for the longer feature race to reflect its strategic importance. This system was consistent with the series' format since its , promoting close battles for positions within the top 10 or 8 finishers. The feature race, typically the longer of the two events and starting from the qualifying order, awarded points to the top 10 classified finishers. The sprint race, a shorter contest using a reverse grid order for the top eight from the feature race, distributed points to the top eight classified finishers. The allocation was as follows:
PositionFeature Race PointsSprint Race Points
1st2515
2nd1812
3rd1510
4th128
5th106
6th84
7th62
8th41
9th2-
10th1-
In addition to finishing positions, four bonus points were awarded to the driver achieving in the qualifying session for the feature race. Two bonus points were given for setting the fastest lap in the feature race, provided the driver finished among the top 10 classified finishers and had completed at least 90% of the race distance; the same applied for the sprint race, but limited to the top eight finishers. These incentives rewarded qualifying pace and in-race speed, adding up to a maximum of 48 points possible over a full weekend for a driver securing pole, winning both races, and recording fastest laps in each. Championship ties were resolved using a hierarchical tiebreaker system, prioritizing the driver with the greater number of race wins, followed by the number of second-place finishes, third-place finishes, and continuing down to tenth-place finishes if necessary. If a tie persisted after these criteria, the deciding factor was the best individual race finishing position across the season. Teams' standings followed a similar points aggregation but without bonus points for pole or fastest laps. To illustrate total points calculation, consider a hypothetical driver over one weekend: securing (4 points), winning the feature race (25 points) while setting the fastest lap there (2 points), but finishing 9th in the sprint race (0 points, ineligible for fastest lap point). This would yield 31 points from , highlighting how bonus awards could significantly boost a driver's tally beyond race finishes alone.

Teams and Participants

Team Entries and Changes

The 2018 GP3 Series saw six teams compete, marking a slight reduction from the seven entrants in due to the departure of Koiranen GP and , with entering to replace the latter. This adjustment reflected the series' ongoing stability in its final season before merging into the , with no major structural overhauls or new franchise additions beyond the DAMS-to-MP transition announced in October . Teams were required to pay an annual entry fee to the GP3 Series Limited, estimated at around €150,000 based on prior cycles, and comply with FIA standards for technical operations, safety, and personnel qualifications to secure grid slots. ART Grand Prix, the defending teams' champions from and multiple-time winners in the series since its inception, remained the benchmark for performance; the French outfit, founded in 2005 and based in Campagnac, , had secured four consecutive teams' titles entering 2018 through superior setup and driver development. , a British team established in 1997 and headquartered in , , returned for another season as a midfield contender with a history of nurturing talents in junior formulae since the early 2000s. , based in , , and founded in 1990 by former driver , continued its GP3 participation since 2016, focusing on Spanish and Latin American driver pathways. Jenzer Motorsport, a Swiss squad from Spreitenbach founded in 1992, maintained its presence as a reliable entrant since joining GP3 in 2015, known for methodical engineering and occasional podium challenges. MP Motorsport, the season's sole newcomer, took over DAMS' slot; the Dutch team, established in 1995 and based in Westmaas, brought experience from Formula 2 while adapting to GP3's uniform GP3/16 chassis for its debut campaign. Trident, an Italian operation based in San Pietro Mosezzo near and launched in 2005, rounded out the grid as a consistent performer, having fielded competitive lineups across seven GP3 seasons with a reputation for strong race pace.

Driver Lineups and Changes

The 2018 GP3 Series field consisted of 26 drivers across six teams, blending returning talent from the 2017 season with a substantial influx of rookies primarily from the and other junior categories, underscoring the series' role as a critical stepping stone in the Formula 1 talent pipeline. Key returnees included , the 2017 runner-up, who stayed with as a French driver aiming to secure the title in his second year. , the 2017 third-place finisher and a Russian racer, also remained with ART to build on his prior experience. , a British rookie transitioning from the , joined ART as part of Ferrari's junior program, marking his debut in the series. The initial lineups, announced in the lead-up to the season, featured the following drivers by team (car numbers as per official assignments for Round 1):

After the round (round 4), departed and joined for the remainder of the season, replacing Alessio Lorandi, who exited the series due to personal commitments. Jannes Fittje stepped in to replace Beckmann at starting from the round (round 5). Earlier, following the round (round 2), raced one event for MP before leaving to prioritize his campaign, with taking over the seat from the round (round 3) onward; only raced in Round 1. After Round 5, left MP for their Formula 2 team, replaced by from Round 6. Niko Kari departed MP after Round 7, with racing in Round 9. At Arden, Julien Falchero was replaced by for Rounds 8–9. Driver backgrounds emphasized the competitive talent pool, with approximately 15 rookies comprising much of the grid and drawing heavily from the to foster progression toward higher formulas. Notable examples included rookies like Boccolacci, Correa, Ilott, , and Verschoor, all arriving from F3 with strong podium records, while veterans such as and Mazepin provided stability for their teams' championship aspirations. This composition highlighted GP3's function as a , with many drivers backed by manufacturer academies like () and Ferrari (Ilott, Alesi).

Legacy and Impact

Post-Season Developments

Following the conclusion of the 2018 season, the was absorbed into the starting in 2019, marking the end of its independent run as a distinct feeder category. This merger, first announced by the FIA in March 2018, received final confirmation through the release of the 2019 FIA F3 calendar on December 6, 2018, which outlined eight rounds all aligned with Formula 1 events. The integration aimed to consolidate talent from both GP3 and the into a single global series, reducing operational fragmentation and costs for teams by standardizing equipment and schedules under one specification. The new FIA F3 adopted the chassis, unveiled on November 22, 2018, during the weekend; this car represented a technical compromise between the lighter, turbocharged GP3 machinery and the naturally aspirated European F3 designs, featuring elements like a halo device and DRS for enhanced safety and overtaking. By merging the series, the FIA sought to streamline the junior single-seater ladder, lowering entry barriers and promoting a more unified pathway to Formula 2, with the reduced eight-round format helping to control logistics and budget expenses compared to GP3's nine events in 2018. The 2018 season served as the GP3's finale after nine years (2010–2018), during which it hosted 154 races, solidifying its role in nurturing talent for higher categories. A tribute article from Formula 1 on December 18, 2018, reflected on the series' legacy of intense racing and driver progression, including six champions who advanced to Formula 1. As of 2025, the FIA Formula 3 has evolved into a cornerstone of the global junior pyramid, now complemented by FIA-sanctioned regional series such as championships that provide accessible, cost-effective alternatives; retrospectively, the 2018 GP3 era is seen as a critical bridge to this consolidated structure, emphasizing standardization over parallel competitions.
