F3: Inthraphuvasak holds off Ugochukwu for second win in Budapest Sprint Race

Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak earned his second win of the season for Campos Racing, leading the pack from reverse grid pole position and managing a one-lap shootout following a late Safety Car.

He had PREMA Racing’s Ugo Ugochukwu for close company in the closing stages, and a crash between Noel León and Van Amersfoort Racing’s Théophile Nael bunched the pack back up and set up a one-lap sprint to the chequered flag.

Having controlled the race from the front, he managed the final restart perfectly to earn win number two of the season ahead of the McLaren Development Driver in second.

Charlie Wurz rounded out the podium finishers in third place for TRIDENT after the Austrian made a final lap pass on AIX Racing’s James Hedley to earn a spot on the rostrum.

In the Championship battle, Rafael Câmara took another step closer to the title, earning valuable points going into Sunday’s Feature Race with a P8 finish.

Closest challenger for the Championship Nikola Tsolov couldn’t mount a comeback into the points, winding up 15th across the line.

Elsewhere, Hedley earned his first points of the season with a P4 finish ahead of ART Grand Prix’s James Wharton in fifth.

Brando Badoer secured his best result of the season in sixth for PREMA, ahead of Mari Boya of Campos and Câmara in seventh and eighth places.

Nael survived his incident with León to come across the line in ninth, while Gerrard Xie was a points scorer for the first time in 2025, finishing 10th for Hitech TGR.
