One of the Brazilian highlights of Formula 1’s feeder series, Pedro Clerot was the best rookie on the opening day of the second post-season testing session for Formula 3, finishing with the sixth fastest time. The activities were held at the Barcelona Circuit in Spain, and the driver was behind the wheel of the Rodin Motorsport car, the team he will represent in 2026.

This is Clerot’s third activity with the Formula 3 car. Last week, the driver drove in two other testing days held in Jerez. The Brazilian completed 47 laps this Wednesday, finishing the first session with the sixth fastest time and the second activity in eighth position overall.
“It was a positive day for us. We were able to feel an initial evolution compared to last week’s test, and the most important thing at this start of the work is to continue accumulating mileage and adapt more and more to the car, to working with Rodin, and to the tires, which are different from the ones I have in FRECA,” explains Pedro Clerot, who is sponsored by Banco BRB.
