The 2019 Paul Ricard FIA Formula 3 round was a motor racing event held on 22 and 23 June 2019 at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France. It is the second round of the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship, and ran in support of the 2019 French Grand Prix.

Summary

=Background=

Following the opening round, Russian driver Robert Shwartzman leads the championship by thirteen points over Christian Lundgaard of Denmark, with Shwartzman's team-mate Jehan Daruvala a further three points behind the Dane.

Artem Petrov will be absent from the round, and with his Jenzer Motorsport team unable to draft in a replacement due to visa restrictions the grid would stand at 29 cars.{{cite news|url=https://www.motorsport.com/fia-formula-3-championship/news/paul-ricard-hughes-hwa-pole/4479161/|title=Paul Ricard F3: Hughes delivers HWA's first pole|publisher=Motorsport.com|accessdate=21 June 2019}}

=Qualifying=

Jake Hughes of HWA Racelab would claim the pole position, beating Daruvala by just under 9-hundredths of a second. Championship leader Shwartzman will start third alongside Pedro Piquet, son of former world champion Nelson Piquet.{{cite news|url=http://www.fiaformula3.com/News/2019/06_June/Hughes-hunts-down-pole-in-France/|title=Hughes hunts down pole in France|publisher=FIA Formula 3 Championship|accessdate=21 June 2019|archive-date=22 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190622061444/http://www.fiaformula3.com/News/2019/06_June/Hughes-hunts-down-pole-in-France/|url-status=dead}}
