FWS: Campos Racing brings exciting talents to the Formula Winter Series
Campos Racing will compete in the Formula Winter Series with an exciting line-up showcasing upcoming female racing talent.
Alisha Palmowski and Rafaela Ferreira will take the start this weekend at the Autodromo International do Algarve, to kick off a three-round campaign for Campos. Chloe Chambers will join the team at Valencia, racing alongside Palmowski. Chambers is set to remain in the line-up for Motorland Aragon, where Ferreira will once again compete.
Alisha Palmowski, 18, achieved early karting success in the UK-based Daniel Ricciardo Series, before moving on to cars within the 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship. After a second season in Ginettas, finishing fifth in the points, Palmowski moved into single seaters via the 2024 GB4 Championship. The British racer took three victories during the season, claiming vice-champion status. She ran as an F1 Academy wildcard entry in Qatar, finishing fifth in the first race, while the second was cancelled.
Brazilian hopeful Rafaela Ferreira, 19, moved into car racing during the 2023 F4 Brazilian Championship. After scoring a podium in her first season, Ferriera scored three race victories in 2024, along with seven additional podium finishes. She finished fourth in the standings, in a championship that utilises the same Tatuus T-421 chassis, Abarth 1.4-litre powertrain and Pirelli tyres as Formula Winter Series.
Chloe Chambers, 20, will make her debut in Formula Winter Series with significant single-seater experience to draw upon. After a season competing across various F4 series in 2021, Chambers was a part of the 2022 W Series. During 2023, the American took a race victory in Formula Regional Oceania, while also successfully competing in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America. She joined the 2024 F1 Academy season, and stood on the top step at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, ultimately finishing sixth in the standings.
Campos Racing finished third in the 2024 Formula Winter Series, and fielded vice-champion Andres Cardenas.
All three drivers in the team’s 2025 Formula Winter Series line-up are set to compete in Campos-run cars during the upcoming F1 Academy season. Palmowski is set to wear the colours of Red Bull Racing, Ferreira will represent the Racing Bulls team, and Chambers will receive backing from both Red Bull and its 2026 Formula One powertrain partner Ford.
The strong line-up from Campos is another thrilling addition to a competitive 2025 Formula Winter Series grid, with a capacity field set to compete at the season-opener. Every race of the season will be broadcast live on the Winter Series YouTube channel, starting with all of the action from Portimão this coming weekend.
