Matteo De Palo claimed victory in the 2026 FIA Formula 3 (F3) Feature Race at Silverstone during the British GP weekend, see the full results below.
Before the race got underway, the field completed two formation laps behind the Safety Car after a fluid spill on the circuit. As a result, one lap was deducted from the scheduled race distance.
When the lights finally went out, Théophile Naël immediately challenged Freddie Slater for the race lead, but the pole-sitter held firm through Turn 1.
Matteo De Palo wasted no time making progress, overtaking Louis Sharp and Naël in the opening laps before surging past TRIDENT teammate Slater to take the race lead with a decisive move into Stowe.
Further back, Championship leader Ugo Ugochukwu also carved his way through the field, once again demonstrating Campos Racing’s impressive race pace around the Silverstone Circuit.
A late Safety Car, triggered by Ricardo Escotto’s stoppage, set up a one-lap shootout to decide the Feature Race victory.
At the chequered flag, Matteo De Palo crossed the line to claim victory, ahead of Théophile Naël in second and Ernesto Rivera in third.
However, the results changed after the race. Naël was handed a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision, dropping him down the order. The penalty promoted Maciej Gładysz to third, securing the MP Motorsport driver his maiden Formula 3 podium.
