“I am thrilled to be driving for the Red Bull Ford Academy Programme for the upcoming 2025 season,” says Chambers. “As an American driver, it is an honour to team up with an iconic American automotive company like Ford.”
The 20-year-old driver achieved her maiden win in Barcelona Race 2, overtaking Abbi Pulling early in the race whilst also gaining the fastest lap. She is currently 4th in the standings with only two races left to go; Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Earlier this summer, Chambers had the opportunity for her second FIA Formula 3 test at the Silverstone Circuit, driving 97 laps in a hybrid 2019 F3 car, modified to handle like the 2025 car.
Chambers currently drives for Haas and Campos Racing with whom she has achieved 3 podiums so far this season.
She commented, “My focus for the rest of the year remains on delivering performance with Haas, but I’m looking forward to the next chapter in 2025 with the Red Bull Ford Academy Programme.”
Ford itself has a history in Formula One, winning 10 Constructor’s titles and 13 Driver’s championships since it became involved in the sport in 1963. Most recently, Ford teamed up with Oracle Red Bull Racing to develop and supply the next-gen hybrid power unit from 2026 and beyond.
Christian Horner, Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing said “Continuing our partnership with Ford as a title sponsor of the Red Bull Academy Programme is hugely exciting and further cements their commitment to female participation in motorsports. Red Bull and ford share common values and are united for providing more opportunities for young emerging talents in motorsports, and we can’t wait to see Chloe hit the track in Red Bull Ford colours in 2025.”
The Red Bull Ford Academy Programme took the opportunity to thank their current driver, Emely De Heus, who is set to depart F1 Academy at the end of the season after a maximum two-year stint.
