    I’m really happy to be joining Campos Racing for the 2026 FIA F3 season! It’s a team I’ve been racing against for years and I have always respected their professionalism and admired their work. To now have the chance to represent their colours is a real honour. I can’t wait to take on this challenge and go hunting for the championship in 2026.

    On behalf of the entire team, I want to give a warm welcome to Théophile. He is a driver we have closely followed since his debut in single-seaters due to his outstanding record. He is an F4 Champion and has shown a remarkable ability to adapt quickly to any category, even climbing the podium as a rookie in all of them. In short, I am certain he will bring a great deal to Campos Racing, and we will work together at the highest level to ensure next season is a tremendously successful one for everyone.
