How the ultra-tight F3 title fight is taking shape

By:

With just five points separating the top five after two rounds, FIA Formula 3 looks set for another thrilling season in 2022. But who stands the best chance of pulling away from that pack, and who are the contenders bubbling under?

The FIA Formula 3 standings couldn't be closer after the first two rounds of the 2022 season. Victor Martins sits joint top of the drivers’ standings with Arthur Leclerc, the pair having taken 36 points apiece. Roman Stanek, in third, is just three points adrift, with fourth-placed Jak Crawford one behind him and Isack Hadjar a further point back in fifth, just five off the lead.

With no drivers having scored in all four races, the competitive order remains somewhat unclear. But who has shone brightest in the early exchanges? And which promising drivers could be in with a shot at the title come the checkered flag at Monza?
