2017 FIA Formula 3 European Championship

The 2017 FIA Formula 3 European Championship is a multi-event motor racing championship for third-tier single-seat open wheel formula racing cars that is held across Europe. The championship featured drivers competing in two-litre Formula Three racing cars which conform to the technical regulations, or formula, for the championship. It was the sixth edition of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship.

The season saw the début of the Dallara F317 chassis package. Although it is only an aero-upgraded F312 chassis, the F317 was built as a replacement for the aging F312 chassis package which débuted in the first season of the championship back in 2012.

Prema Powerteam successfully defended the teams' championship for the fifth time in row. While the drivers' and rookies' title was secured with two races to spare by Carlin's driver Lando Norris. He became the first non-Prema driver to win the FIA Formula 3 European Championship.[1] Joel Eriksson on his second year with Motopark improved his performance to the runner-up place in the standings. While Prema's Maximilian Günther was not able to get better in the championship, but remained in the top-three at the end of the season. His teammate Callum Ilott was the last driver who was a championship contender and won on the different types of circuits. Jake Hughes, Jehan Daruvala and Ferdinand Habsburg took their wins at Nürburgring, Norisring and Spa respectively.[2][3][4] Guanyu Zhou, Ralf Aron and Nikita Mazepin completed the top-ten in the standings and all of them had more than one podium.
