American driver Chloe Chambers has joined Haas for the new F1 Academy season.
Haas have signed American racer Chloe Chambers to be their nominated driver in the F1 Academy this season, with the teenager set to race for Campos.
The 19-year-old, who was Jamie Chadwick’s team-mate in W Series in 2022, also holds a Guinness World Record for the fastest vehicle slalom, set when she was just 16 driving a Porsche 718 Spyder.
As ‘America’s Formula 1 team’, as Haas self-refer, Chambers’ arrival will see an American presence at the team when she joins the F1 Academy grid in 2024, in a bespoke Haas livery.
