Classification

=Summary=

Adderly Fong was replaced by Christopher Höher at Jenzer Motorsport before the race weekend, as Fong was racing in Japan.{{cite web|date=24 July 2014|last=Allen|first=Peter|title=Hoher to race for Jenzer in Hungary in place of Fong|url=https://formulascout.com/hoher-to-race-for-jenzer-in-hungary-in-place-of-fong/20009|website=Formula Scout|access-date=16 April 2025}} In addition, Victor Carbone did not appear, and no driver was entered in the Trident #23 car in his place.

Despite a late red flag as Roman de Beer and Alfonso Celis Jr. left the track, Richie Stanaway claimed pole position in qualifying.{{cite web|date=26 July 2014|last=Allen|first=Peter|title=Richie Stanaway claims GP3 pole at the Hungaroring|url=https://formulascout.com/richie-stanaway-claims-gp3-pole-at-the-hungaroring/20073|website=Formula Scout|access-date=16 April 2025}} He was challenged into turn one by Robert Vișoiu, but held the lead. Vișoiu remained within half a second of Stanaway for much of the race; on the penultimate lap, Stanaway ran deep at the chicane, but Vișoiu locked up while attempting to overtake, allowing Stanaway retake the lead and win the race.{{cite web|date=26 July 2014|last=Allen|first=Peter|title=Richie Stanaway holds on to win first Hungaroring GP3 race|url=https://formulascout.com/richie-stanaway-holds-on-to-win-first-hungaroring-gp3-race/20103|website=Formula Scout|access-date=16 April 2025}} Nick Yelloly followed him through to make it a 1-2 finish for Status Grand Prix.{{cite web|date=26 July 2014|last=Hensby|first=Paul|title=Stanaway hangs on for Hungary win after Visoiu challenge|url=https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2014/07/stanaway-hangs-hungary-win-visoiu-challenge/|website=The Checkered Flag|access-date=16 April 2025}}

Dino Zamparelli started on reverse grid pole for race two.{{cite web|date=27 July 2014|last=Allen|first=Peter|title=Niederhauser returns to the top step in second Hungaroring race|url=https://formulascout.com/niederhauser-returns-to-the-top-step-in-second-hungaroring-race/20112|website=Formula Scout|access-date=16 April 2025}} Patric Niederhauser had the best start, allowing him to pass both Zamparelli and Jann Mardenborough, and he held the lead for the rest of the race to take his first GP3 win since 2012.{{cite web|date=27 July 2014|last=Hensby|first=Paul|title=Patric Niederhauser and Arden victorious in Hungary|url=https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2014/07/patric-niederhauser-arden-victorious-hungary/|website=The Checkered Flag|access-date=16 April 2025}} Zamparelli and Mardenborough completed the podium.{{cite web|date=28 July 2014|title=Jann Mardenborough grabs another GP3 podium|url=https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_1446818.html|website=Gran Turismo|access-date=16 April 2025}} Alex Lynn remained in the championship lead, 31 points ahead of Stanaway.
