Robert Shwartzman took a big step towards winning the FIA Formula 3 championship by claiming his third win of the s🎀eason on Saturday at Monza, fighting back from a grid penalty that left him eighth on the grid.

Shwartzman picked his way up the order following Pre🅠ma Racing teammate Marcus Armstrong, sitting second under the Safety Car following a crash for Red Bull junior Juri Vips that left his car in need of recovery.

Shwartzman ran his teammate close on the restart before being allowed past⛄ by Armstrong in a bid by the New 🧸Zealander to save his tyres, taking the lead on the run to Parabolica on Lap 15.

The 🔜race was put behind the Safety Car for a second time on Lap 19 after a horrific crash for Alex Peroni that saw his car go flying into the air after hitting a sausage kerb at the exit of Parabolica.

Peroni's car was thrown into the a♍ir before crashing into the barrier at the exit of the corner. The Australian walked away from the🐷 incident, but will go to hospital for further tests as per the Campos team.

The race finished behind the Safety Car with Shwartzman leading from Prema tea๊mmates Armstrong and J🦄ehan Daruvala, giving the team a 1-2-3 finish on home soil.

Shwartzman now leads Daruvala by 35 points in the drivers' championshipꦕ, with Armstrong a further seven behind.

Liam Lawson will🌱 start Sunday's𓄧 race from reverse grid pole after finishing eighth on Saturday.
