Minì was able to pass his title rival for second place, but it was Mansell’s move on Fornaroli at the Roggia chicane on the penultimate lap that put the PREMA driver ahead on points by one.
With his championship in the balance, Fornaroli hustled Mansell on the final lap and made a dive to the inside of Parabolica to move himself back up to third, good enough to secure the F3 championship.

While Minì finished second on the road, he was later disqualified for a technical infringement, moving Fornaroli up to second, and Mansell back onto the podium in third.
Fornaroli became the first Italian driver to win the F3 drivers’ title.
