2025 Silverstone Formula 3 round

The 2025 Silverstone FIA Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held between 4 and 6 July 2025 at Silverstone Circuit. It was the seventh round of the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship and was held in support of the 2025 British Grand Prix.

Two changes were made to the grid ahead of the race. Nicola Lacorte returned following his race ban, and Nikita Johnson moved to Hitech TGR to replace Jesse Carrasquedo Jr., who prioritised his Eurocup-3 season.

Nikola Tsolov took his second pole position in a row in qualifying, with Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak claiming reverse-grid sprint pole. Inthraphuvasak held the lead at the start of the race, with Théophile Naël making his way from fourth to second. Tsolov was hit by Brando Badoer on the opening lap, with Badoer stopping on track, triggering a safety car. Martinius Stenshorne overtook Christian Ho for third on the restart. On lap 7, Naël attempted to pass Inthraphuvasak for the lead, but went off-track while doing so, and was told to give the position back four laps later. Naël was then passed by Stenshorne on lap 13, and fell further back to be attacked by Laurens van Hoepen soon after. However, the pair ran wide, and Mari Boya overtook them both to claim third place. It was Inthraphuvasak's first win in Formula 3, and the first for a Thai driver in the series.

The feature race began on a damp track, with the field split between slick and wet tyres. Boya, the leading driver on wet tyres, jumped from fourth to first at the start, followed by Naël and Noel León, while those on slick tyres fell to the rear of the field, led by Tsolov in 20th. The top three remained consistent throughout the race, followed by Roman Biliński, who had made his way from 17th to fourth in the opening laps. The rain intensified, and Louis Sharp ran off into the gravel at Club, prompting a safety car before the race was red flagged on lap 14 and not restarted. Boya took his first win of the season, and Câmara retained the championship lead, with challenges Tramnitz and Tsolov failing to score during the weekend.
