Guerrieri returned to the series at the next round at Brno, which hosted its first event. Guerrieri's team-mate Filip Salaquarda had qualified on pole for both races, but it was Guerrieri who led the field to the flag each time, taking his victory total for the season to three and moved himself back in the running for the championship as he lay seven points behind Aleshin. Aleshin took his third victory of the season at Magny-Cours, while Berthon picked up his only win of the season in the second race, and thus Aleshin extended his championship lead at the halfway stage, leading with 75 points to Ricciardo's 66 and Guerrieri's 59. Guerrieri's title chances hit a snag, after ISR elected to miss the meeting due to damaged chassis; Ricciardo and Aleshin took advantage scoring 20 and 22 points respectively, while Pentus took his first victory since Aragón to move ahead of Guerrieri in the championship standings. After a two-month summer break, Hockenheim held the next round of the championship, in which Ricciardo and Guerrieri claimed the victories with Aleshin's championship lead cut to ten points over Ricciardo with Guerrieri a further sixteen behind. At Silverstone, Guerrieri took his fifth victory on the road in the opening race, but was disqualified on a technical infringement, giving victory to Ricciardo's team-mate Jean-Éric Vergne. Vergne was making only his third start in the series after replacing Brendon Hartley at Tech 1 Racing, having already secured the British Formula 3 Championship in dominant fashion. Ricciardo himself was in the wars after rolling his car just yards after the start of the race, due to a collision with Fortec Motorsport's Jon Lancaster. Guerrieri did secure his fifth win at Silverstone, taking the second race ahead of Ricciardo and Vergne and moved within 16 points of Aleshin with a round to go. In Barcelona, Ricciardo won the opening race with Aleshin second to leave both drivers going into the final race with 128 points apiece and mathematically eliminated Guerrieri from title contention. While Guerrieri won the final race ahead of Vergne, Ricciardo and Aleshin did battle over third position and the championship, with Aleshin prevailing thanks to a move with three laps to go, giving Aleshin his first major championship title.
