The 2022 Budapest Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held on 30 and 31 July 2022 at the Hungaroring, Mogyoród, Hungary. It was the sixth round of the 2022 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and was held in support of the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix.

With Caio Collet and Alexander Smolyar winning the Sprint Race and the Feature Race respectively, MP Motorsport became the first team after Hitech Grand Prix in 2019 Silverstone Formula 3 round to win both races in a Formula 3 weekend.

## Driver changes

[edit]

Some driver changes occurred prior to the Budapest round, with current Euroformula Open championship leader Oliver Goethe making his FIA Formula 3 debut for Campos Racing by replacing Hunter Yeany, who was ruled out for the Budapest round due to a broken wrist sustained at the previous round in Spielberg.[1]

For Charouz Racing System, the then-Euroformula Open Championship runner-up Christian Mansell made his debut in the series by replacing Zdeněk Chovanec, who was competing in the last two rounds for the Czech squad.[2]
