Summary
Ugo Ugochukwu just made history as the first American to win the Formula Three championship, clinching it in a heart-pounding final race in Madrid—finishing second behind Finland’s Tuukka Taponen, who claimed his maiden F3 victory from pole. Ugo, starting from P2, held his nerve through a late safety car chaos to seal the title with 159 points, edging out Freddie Slater (145) and overtaking him after trailing earlier in the season. Taponen’s win vaulted him to third overall, while Pedro Clerot completed the podium with another strong showing. It was pure drama, grit, and triumph on the final lap.
