FIA Formula 3 Launches €1 Million Prize Fund to Support Promotion to F2

Only drivers who move to Formula 2 next year receive the payouts.

Overview

  • The top five finishers in the 2025 FIA F3 standings will share the fund on a €300k/€250k/€200k/€150k/€100k scale earmarked for F2 progression.
  • Eligibility requires graduating to F2 the following season, with forfeited awards passing to the next-highest placed eligible driver.
  • The initiative complements Pirelli’s existing €300,000 champion award, allowing the 2025 title winner to secure up to €600,000 for an F2 campaign.
  • F3 CEO Bruno Michel announced the scheme, while F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali welcomed it as a meaningful incentive for rising talent.
  • Coverage notes F2 budgets are typically estimated at €2–3 million per season, and the structure draws comparisons to the Road to Indy model.
