2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship

The 2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship was the seventh and final season of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, a multi-event motor racing championship for third-tier single-seat open wheel formula racing cars that is held across Europe. The championship features drivers competing in two-litre Formula 3 racing cars which conform to the technical regulations, or formula, for the championship. Teams and drivers competed in ten rounds, running in support of a variety of European motorsport championships including the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

As the FIA Formula 3 European Championship and GP3 Series are merged to form the international FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2019, 2018 was the final year that the championship was run since its formation in 2012.

Mick Schumacher won the championship on his second season. He took the championship lead after win in the first Spielberg race and held it until the second Hockenheim race, where he clinched the title. Dan Ticktum was the championship leader after first Hungaroring race and from finish of the first Silverstone race till the finish of the first Spielberg race but he scored only 42 out of 150 possible points in the final two rounds, losing the title battle by 59 points. Robert Shwartzman won the rookies' championship and completed the top-three in the driver's standings ahead of another Ferrari Driver Academy members Marcus Armstrong and Guanyu Zhou. Armstrong was placed behind Jüri Vips in both Drivers' and Rookies' standings. While fellow Estonian driver Ralf Aron was behind Armstrong in the driver standings. Prema Theodore Racing successfully defended the teams' championship title, winning over Motopark with one round to spare, and maintaining their record of being the only team to have won the teams' championship since the FIA Formula 3 European Championship was launched in 2012.

Champion Mick Schumacher took eight wins: one each at Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, and Misano, a hat-trick at the Nürburgring, and a double at the Red Bull Ring. Runner-up Dan Ticktum, Jüri Vips, and Ralf Aron each took four race wins. Guanyu Zhou, Enaam Ahmed, and Robert Shwartzman won two races. Marcus Armstrong, Sacha Fenestraz, Jehan Daruvala, and Nikita Troitskiy were also race-winners.
