The 2022 Silverstone Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held on 2 and 3 July 2022 at the Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, United Kingdom. It was the fourth round of the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and was held in support of the 2022 British Grand Prix.
Driver changes Multiple driver changes took place for the fourth round at the Silverstone Circuit. On the weekend before the Silverstone round, Trident confirmed that Jonny Edgar would return to the series after missing the previous two rounds following Crohn's disease he sustained on early April 2022.
Zdeněk Chovanec also returned to the championship after last competing at the 2021 Sochi Formula 3 round, driving for Charouz Racing System.
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, MP Motorsport driver Alexander Smolyar was denied of getting a visa for the entry into the United Kingdom. Hence, he was not able to take part at the fourth round in Silverstone and was then replaced by Romanian driver Filip Ugran, who returned to the series after competing in the previous season.
Classification Qualifying Rookie and Carlin driver Zak O'Sullivan took his maiden Formula 3 pole position on home soil ahead of Arthur Leclerc and Zane Maloney.
