Christian Mansell achieved his first FIA Formula 3 pole position in qualifying at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, followed by Arvid Lindblad and Nikola Tsolov. Santiago Ramos started the sprint race from first place. In the opening laps of the sprint race, second-placed Sami Meguetounif collided with Ramos in an attempt to overtake, bringing out the safety car and allowing Mari Boya into the lead. Boya maintained his lead until the end of the race, which finished under safety car conditions after Sebastián Montoya and Gabriele Minì collided earlier. Boya took his first victory in the category, followed by Alex Dunne with his maiden podium finish, and Oliver Goethe.
Feature race pole-sitter Mansell led at the start but was overtaken by Lindblad on lap five.
