Campos Racing has confirmed the first driver in its 2023 FIA Formula 3 line-up, penning a deal with Christian Mansell.
Mansell made his debut in the F3 series last year with Charouz, competing in the rounds at the Hungaroring and Spa-Francorchamps.
The Briton raced full time in the Euroformula Open Championship this year, finishing third in the Drivers’ Championship.
“To be joining Campos for FIA F3 in 2023 is such an incredible honour, and achievement,” said Mansell.
“With a strong showing in the latter part of the season it gives me confidence I can do well in my opening year in FIA F3. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!”
Campos ended the 2022 F3 campaign eighth in the standings, taking one race victory across the year.
Team Principal Adrian Campos said of Mansell’s signing: “I would like to extend a warm welcome to Christian (Mansell) on behalf of Campos Racing.
“It will be a huge challenge for him as it will be his rookie season in the FIA Formula 3, which is an extremely competitive racing series. His previous results, a race winner in other championships, explain well he is a talented driver.
“Besides, due to his diabetic condition, Christian is an example to follow for everybody as he proves what you can achieve with commitment and determination, even at the highest motorsport level.”
