The first champion in the history of F4 Brazil, Clerot had a positive debut in Formula 3, held back in March, scoring his first points with an eighth place in the main race at the season opener in Australia. This result places him in eighth position in the standings, with four points after the only double round contested, due to the cancellation of the Bahrain round.
After the tests at Red Bull Ring, Clerot and Formula 3 turn their attention to the second round of the championship, scheduled for the street circuit in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The program will start on June 4 and continue until the 7th, when the main race of the weekend will take place.
