Seems with all of the karters, the Verstappen craze begins

Leclerc and Russell would be awesome in F3, think Sasahara, Fittipaldi and Maini could do good stuff too.

Leclerc and Russell have already showed they are ready for the next step...

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those karters will join Carlin/Fortec/DoubleR in MSA Formula 4.. They need to get used to cars, and i'm guessing Carlin/DoubleR haven't got slower cars because they are still waiting for the MSA Formula car(s) to be delivered..? (Just a crazy guess.....)

Otherwhise the Verstappen craziness has started indeed...

Pretty good calendar I have to say - it's nice to see Monza back although I do sometimes wonder why they feel the need for two Hockenheim rounds, both supporting the DTM.
Speaking of which, as the DTM are switching to two races per round next season, I wonder what impact it will have on the F3 track time at each event?

Looking forward to making the trip to Silverstone next year for F3 & WEC

It seems that they are: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/117041

Quote:
The FIA has also made some changes to the European F3 sporting regulations, many of which are a tidy-up of what existed before.
But in the wake of three British teams boycotting last year's Moscow Raceway round on cost grounds, it has been ruled that 'any competitor who fails to participate in an event will be reported to the stewards of the event in question'.

hmm, that's difficult to pick a side on isn't it? on the one hand, it's very much the teams that suffer if they don't take part in a round. on the other hand, it's a proper series at a high level with a considerable amount of attention on it and it looks rubbish if a group of teams don't turn up because the benefit of going is outweighed by the cost savings of skipping it.

it's costly in terms of man hours for the truckies to get there and back (the round trip is in the 3-4 week bracket for the english guys), and the less said about the border crossing and customs procedures the better. but it's more or less the same for everyone so...

It is not really on-topic but.... F3 will return to Macau in 2015 the FIA website says

FIA Formula 3 Intercontinental Cup
(1 compétition / competition)
Date Pays / Country Nom de la compétition / Competition name
22/11 MAC Macau Grand Prix

And again this is the only 'Intercontinental Cup' race... With the Pau GP staying a FIA F3 round... the Zandvoort Masters of F3 isn't really sure to stay on....? But, the Zandvoort Masters 2015 date is 1 week before the FIA F3 will race in Zandvoort, this should probably be the best (logistics) date for all teams, Time will tell.......

Problem for Masters of Zandvoort is this new FIA Rule

From Autosport

The FIA has also modified a regulation to the extent that it could impact heavily on the Masters of F3 at Zandvoort - for which no date has officially been set - as well as German F3, Euroformula Open and any attempt to revive British F3.
European F3 teams are effectively forbidden from taking part in any other race or test with F3 cars of any specification at any venue on the FIA F3 schedule in the four weeks before the venue's European round.

Ouchhh! I guess this was it for the Masters....

More pointless legislating from the FIA to make sure that they are in absolute control of all steps of the racing ladder, regardless of the benefits or hindrances.

At least they are racing at Zandvoort. Perhaps one of the three races that weekend will be the Masters event? Good calendar this year.

Had heard they are trying to get back on the Monaco GP support bill - wonder where that's headed?

Heard the Monaco rumours for the last couple of years. Personally I think it would be a good move, but the schedule is pretty packed as it is...

Yeah, and only this week the ACM and Renault Sport announced an extension to the deal that allows FR3.5 to support the Monaco GP.

In 2012 they managed to fit in F1, GP2, GP3, FR3.5 and the Porsche Supercup, so it wouldn't be impossible for F3 to race there, but they certainly wouldn't be able to hold the usual three races IMO.

And did that make any difference on the decisions he made? I don't think so, they were purely business. And that is something that Domenicali can do as well.

Domenicalli established FDA and I think he has always followed the disciplines below or at least he can always rely on Baldisserri. It all depends on how much time he has on his hands.

Many F4 drivers have tested in F3.

Such as Maini, Russell, Boccolacci, Stroll.
