F1 Academy, 2025 line-up complete after Chloe Chong’s return announcement

British driver Chloe Chong will return for her second season in F1 Academy, supported by Charlotte Tilbury and Rodin Motorsport. Here’s the full 2025 line-up.

The final piece of the puzzle for the third season of F1 Academy, set to debut at the Shanghai Circuit from March 21 to 23, has been placed: Chloe Chong will make her return to the all-female championship after competing in British F4, joining Rodin Motorsport with the support of Charlotte Tilbury, the series’ official partner – thus completing the 2025 line-up.

“I’m super happy to be making a return to F1 ACADEMY this season and to be representing Charlotte Tilbury,” Chloe Chong said about her comeback to the series. “When I was first introduced to the brand, I instantly felt at home with their ethos of championing the magic of confidence and big dreams in order to achieve goals.”

From the British driver’s statements, it’s clear that Chong and the renowned makeup brand share a common philosophy: “I truly believe in setting myself up for success; so joining the Charlotte Tilbury family feels just like that. Their brand story is beyond inspiring, and it’s something I would like to replicate on track. I am grateful for their support in my career, and I can’t wait to shoot for the stars wearing their colours in the year ahead “.

During her rookie year in F1 Academy in 2023, Chloe Chong was the youngest driver on the grid, securing six points finishes. Her best results were three sixth-place finishes in Spielberg, Valencia, and Austin.
