Offaly's Alex Dunne has become the first Irish driver to finish on the podium in the Formula Three World Championship.

The Clonbullougue teenager took the chequered flag in second place in F3's sprint race on Saturday.

Dunne then followed that up with a points scoring finish in Sunday's feature race, coming home in seventh.

The McLaren junior benefited from qualifying his MP Motorsport car in 9th on Friday which meant he started from fourth for Saturday's reverse grid sprint.

He and the F3 grid return to action for this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix weekend.
