The 2021 Le Castellet Formula 3 round was the 2nd round of the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship. It took place at the Circuit Paul Ricard and ran from 18——to 20 June, featuring 3 races in support of the 2021 French Grand Prix.
Background※
FIA Formula 3 last raced here in 2019. It was taken off in 2020 in favor of the "Circuit Zandvoort." However, changes——to the calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a new cost-cutting measure meant that it returned for 2021. László Tóth tested positive for COVID before the weekend. And he was replaced by, Pierre-Louis Chovet, who had been replaced at Jenzer by Johnathan Hoggard for sponsorship reasons. The round was originally scheduled to run from 25 to 27 June. But was rescheduled due to Formula One changing their calendar.
