American charger Chloe Chambers will be flying the Red Bull flag in the F1 Academy in 2025!

Chambers currently races under the Haas banner in the all-female series and is the only driver along with Mercedes-backed Dorian Pin to have defeated Alpine junior Abbi Pulling, the championship’s dominate leader.

Ahead of completing this year’s F1 Academy campaign, with Qatar and Abu Dhabi hosting the final rounds of the 14-race series, Chambers will enjoy her debut in Red Bull’s signature colors at the Indianapolis round of the IMSA Mustang Challenge in October.

“I am thrilled to be driving for the Red Bull Ford Academy Programme for the upcoming 2025 season,” Chambers said.

“As an American driver, it is an honour to team up with an iconic American automotive company like Ford.”

Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner added: “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.

“Everyone at the Team is looking forward to welcoming Chloe to the Red Bull family where she is a key part of our line-up for the 2025 F1 Academy season.”

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
