2014 GP3 Series

(Redirected from 2014 GP3 Series season)

The 2014 GP3 Series was the fifth season of the third-tier of Formula One feeder championship and also fifth season under the moniker of GP3 Series, a motor racing feeder series for Formula One and sister series GP2. The series continued to use Pirelli tyres.[1]

2014 GP3 champion, Alex Lynn

The title was claimed by Red Bull Junior driver Alex Lynn, despite the fact he had fewer wins than Dean Stoneman; Lynn surpassed him by 44 points.[2]

This was also the only season in the GP3 Series in which a team other than ART Grand Prix secured the constructors' title, with Carlin winning the constructors' championship by 17 points over ART.
