Campos has announced the second of its three drivers for the 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship, with Lorenzo Colombo signing with the team.
The announcement comes just one day after the Spanish outfit confirmed announced Amaury Cordeel in one of its seats.
20-year-old Colombo makes the step up from Formula Renault Eurocup, where he has spent the last two years, finishing fourth and fifth overall in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
The Italian has been racing single-seaters since 2016, with his best Championship result coming in the Italian F4 Championship, when he ended up third in the standings.
“I am extremely excited to be joining the FIA F3 grid with Campos Racing,” said Colombo.
“I can’t wait to start working with the team in order to learn as much as I can before the start of the season. I`m feeling ready to give my best as a racing driver.”
Colombo has previous links with Campos, having briefly joined the team for two races in the 2017 Euroformula Open Championship.
Sporting Director Adrián Campos Jr. added: “I would like to welcome Lorenzo to the team on behalf of all Campos Racing and especially my father Adrián Campos.
“We have been trying to make this partnership possible in the past seasons without success for a number of different reasons.
“Lorenzo has always been very close to the team and he was that kind of driver my father followed since we first met already four years ago.
“I am sure Lorenzo will manage to demonstrate during this season why my father believed in him and rated him as an extremely talented driver of huge potential.”
