Immediately in the opening round, Taponen rose a couple of notches to fifth. After that, the Finnish driver of the Art stable showed his skills by passing the rivals who used ugly grips in some places and by improving his ranking third.

They were terrible to the viewer. Taponen did everything he could, but in the front Nikola Tsolov and Freddie Slater Resinated by Finnish companies.
In addition to Taponen, Slater was the star of the race. In his first F3 race, he immediately drove a top investment. He even had a good time to run the race until Tsolov was ahead.
Taponen scored eight points for the third place in the sprint race. After a faded Australia opening competition, the point pot was important for the Finnish championship. For Taponen, a good thing was the failure of almost everyone in Australia on Saturday in Bahrain.
