Frederik Ves🅺ti stormed to his second victory of the 2020 FIA Formula 3 season at the opening race at Monza as Prema wrapped up the teams’ championship.

Vesti started ninth on the grid but charged through the order, taking advantage of a late Safety Car period to snatch an unlikely win at the Ital🍌ian Grand Prix venue.

The Dane was third at the point the⛦ Safety Car was deployed when Sﷺebastian Fernandez spun off into the gravel at Ascari but immediately found himself fighting for the lead after pulling off a move on Jake Hughes at the restart.

Second place soon became the race lead with just two laps remaining when Vesti launched a darinღg late lunge on long-time race leader Theo Pourchaire, who had to settle for second.

Pourchaire lost his pole position after being one of nine drivers who were hit with a drip drop for being adjudged to have driven unnecessarily slowly in qualifying but ha💝d soured into the lead from sixth on the grid after just four laps.

The 17-year-old ART G👍rand Prix looke🐼d in complete control until the Safety Car when Vesti capitalised to snatch the lead in the closing stages.

Oscar Piastri completed the podium in third place to reclaim the lead of the drive꧙rs’ championship by eight points over Prema teammate Logan Sargeant, who was spun to the back of the field while battling Carlin’s Clement Novalak.

The 1-3 result for Prema secured the Italian outfit a second consecutiv൲e FIA F3 teamജs’ championship title with three races to spare in the 2020 season.

David Beckmann was fourth for Trident with Hughes rounding ouไt the top five, ahead of Lawson’s Hitech Grand Prix.

Lirim Zendeli, Bent Viscaal, Enzo Fittipaldi and Michae♐l Belov made up the rest of the top-10, with the Russian claiminౠg reverse grid pole for Sunday’s second race.
