The FIA F3 Championship series has added Bahrain and Netherlands to its 2020 calender, while
dropping the French Grand Prix. The championship will commence in Bahrain alongside the
FIA Formula 2 Championship, but will finish in Russia to leave room for competitors to contest
the FIA Formula 3 World Cup in Macau at the end of the year.
FIA Formula 3 CEO Bruno Michel said: “I’m very pleased to confirm that our 2020 calendar
will comprise nine rounds. That’s one more event than this season. All events will occur
alongside F1 Grand Prix, with two new venues, one flyaway and one European. It will be
interesting to see the F3 cars racing at the Bahrain International Circuit and at Zandvoort
alongside F1 and F2.” FIA Single-Seater Commission President, Stefano Domenicali, added, “ I
am looking forward to seeing how they tackle a new challenge in Bahrain, whilst many will be
returning to the fantastic Zandvoort circuit in the Netherlands having raced there in more junior
categories”
