Cunha finished the season of the British championship with -36 points in 26th and last place in the drivers' championship. The negative score came about because 40 points were deducted. Cunha had taken part in a Formula 3 race of another Formula 3 championship on a track on which the British Formula 3 championship also hosted an event. This was a violation of the sporting regulations. In the European F3 Open, Cunha won a race, was on the podium three times and was ninth in the drivers' standings at the end of the season.
