Mid-season changes

• Martin Jatzek started negotiating with TR Motorsports after round 2, as they were searching drivers for their Academy team since the season start. Jatzek opted to switch over from his team Ecodrom Prototype Racing, as Ecodrom Prototype Racing has failed to find a second driver themselves. Therefore, Jatzek joined the Academy team of his former team-mate Michael Teichmann prior to the Zolder races. Because Ecodrom Prototype Racing was left without any driver, they shut down their F3 operation.
• Constantin Grimminger started negotiating with several teams after round 5, as he was searching a team mate since the season start. After talking to several teams including Shadow Wolf RT, he opted to switch over from his team Team GM to Unnameds Racing Developement from round 7 onwards. As a consequence, Team GM sat out several rounds and was re-organizing itself to come back in 2017.
• Cristian Alvarez started negotiating with Team GM after round 8, as they announced they could operate as back-up team for one-off drivers. Alvarez opted to switch over from his team Shadow Wolf RT, as Shadow Wolf RT has failed to find team mates for Alvarez. Therefore, Alvarez joined Team GM prior to the Hamilton Street Circuit races. As Shadow Wolf RT was left without any driver, they shut down their F3 operation.
