2013 FIA Formula 3 European Championship


The FIA Formula 3 European Championship was a multi-event motor racing championship for open wheel, formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship featured drivers competing in 2 litre Formula Three Dallara single seat race cars that conform to the technical regulations for the championship. The 2013 season was the second edition of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship organized by the FIA. The season began at Autodromo Nazionale Monza on 23 March and finished on 20 October at Hockenheimring. The series formed part of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters meetings at seven triple header events, with other triple header events as part of the World Touring Car Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship and the Superstars Series.
The championship was won by 2012 runner-up Raffaele Marciello, driving for Prema Powerteam. Mücke's Felix Rosenqvist finished behind Marciello for the second year in a row, finishing 32.5 points behind. Marciello's teammates Alex Lynn and Lucas Auer finished third and fourth respectively, allowing Prema to clinch the teams' championship. Carlin's driver Harry Tincknell completed the top five with a win at his home round at Silverstone. Non-regular drivers Pascal Wehrlein – prior to moving into the DTM – and Daniil Kvyat were the only drivers outside the top five, who took a race win.
