Josep Maria Marti makes step up to F3 with Campos for 2022

The news comes after Charouz Racing System announced László Tóth, who drove for Campos in 2021, on Tuesday. 

Marti drove for Campos during Spanish Formula 4 last season, securing two wins and four podiums on his way to third in the standings.

The 16-year-old Spaniard is Campos’ first signing ahead of the new season which gets underway in Bahrain on March 18-20.

“I’m delighted to continue my racing career with Campos Racing for a further year,” he said. “We completed a very strong work in 2021 and I think it’s the right choice to step up to FIA Formula 3 with the same team.

“I will continue learning and improving as a racing driver. We are extremely motivated to take up the challenge and give our best throughout 2022.”

Campos Sporting Director Adrián Campos added: “Our goal was always to have a racing team being able to open up opportunities of improving and growing as a racing driver from kart racing to the F1 feeder series.

“Therefore, we also joined the F4-based racing series last year. Pepe is a superb example proving this because in my opinion, he is one of the most talented racing drivers who never have competed with us.

"We are proud because he has chosen us to continue working together. He achieved fantastic results in F4 last year and we now have another huge challenge ahead, but we are looking forward to completing a strong 2022 season.”

On Friday, Trident announced the signing Zane Maloney.

Maloney will partner the already-announced Jonny Edgar at Trident for 2022.
