BARCELONA FIA F3 TESTS – 22-23 April 2021

The 10 teams of the FIA F3 Championship met on 22^nd and 23^rd April 2021 for the last two official pre-season test days at the Circuito de Catalunya near Barcelona (E). Calan Williams (AUS), Pierre-Louis Chovet (F) and Filip Ugran (ROM) did their best. Cool temperatures, clouds and rain showers made the days challenging.

The track was wet on the first morning. The opportunity to mount slick tyres only came just before noon. Pierre-Louis achieved excellent 2^nd place, Filip was 6^th and Calan 9^th, all well placed in the top ten.
In the afternoon it started to drizzle again. For fast lap times it was depending when you were on track exacly, due to the varying conditions. Jenzer drivrs put the emphasis on long runs. At the end of the day Calan was 13^th, Pierre-Louis was 26^th and Filip was 27^th.

The second morning was cool but dry. Jenzer drivers showed their nerves in the simulated qualifying situation. Calan was now in 13^th position, 0.561 seconds behind the fastest time. Pierre-Louis reached 14^th place directly behind Calan. Filip managed 28^th place.
In the afternoon they went back to business once more. Jenzer drivers were now well prepared. Calan achieved the fastest time of the afternoon and Pierre-Louis was just behind him in excellent 3^rd place. Filip finished in very good 12^th place.

We are excited to look forward to the start of the racing season, which takes place on the weekend of 9^th May 2021 at Barcelona, where FIA F3 will again be part of the support program for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. (source Jenzer MotorSport)
