The first 10 F3 graduates to make it to Formula 1

The FIA Formula 3 Championship has proven to be a vital launchpad for many F1 talents, with Arvid Lindblad's upcoming debut for Racing Bulls marking him as the tenth F3 graduate on the grid. F3 provides crucial development beyond just on-track skills, exposing young drivers to travel, media, and sponsorship duties, acting as a "trial by fire" for the sport's highest level. Notable success stories include Oscar Piastri (McLaren), Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls), Gabriel Bortoleto (Kick Sauber), and Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull), among others. Their diverse F3 journeys, often marked by rapid progression and resilience through challenges, underscore the championship's role in preparing them for the intense demands of Formula 1.
