The title was won by Ho-Pin Tung, who became the first Chinese driver to win the Formula Three championship.[1] He achieved nine wins, to overcome his teammate Ferdinand Kool by 46 points, who was victorious at Lausitz.[2] The third place went to Harald Schlegelmilch, who clinched both the Trophy and Rookie titles and won three from four races at Assen. Seyffarth Motorsport driver Renger van der Zande lost two points to Schlegelmilch in both the main and Rookie championship to finish fourth and second respectively. Nico Hülkenberg won the race at Hockenheim and completed the top five.[3] Schlegelmilch's teammate Joey Foster was the last driver to win more than one race. He did it at Oschersleben, Hockenheim and Nürburgring. Other wins were shared between Nathan Antunes and Johnny Cecotto Jr..
