The partnership between Campos Racing and Ernesto Rivera is officially set to continue for the 2027 FIA Formula 3 Championship. The talented Mexican driver will once again pilot machinery for the reigning championship-winning Spanish squad as he tackles his second consecutive campaign in the fiercely competitive feeder series.
The decision to retain the 17-year-old racer comes as a reward for a stellar rookie season. Representing the prestigious Red Bull Junior Team, Rivera secured three total podium finishes, including two dominant victories at the Red Bull Ring in Austria and Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, helping secure the team's consecutive teams' title.
These achievements are even more remarkable considering the physical setback he encountered early in the year. An untimely injury forced him to sit out the opening round in Australia, yet he bounced back magnificently, displaying high-level adaptability, raw speed, and impressive racecraft throughout the European rounds.
Expressing his thoughts on securing his 2027 seat, Rivera shared his enthusiasm for entering a full campaign without health interruptions. I am truly thrilled to continue with Campos Racing for my second season in FIA Formula 3 and my fourth year overall with the team, stated Rivera in his official remarks.
He further emphasized his gratitude toward the management and his backers for their continuous support. Having missed part of last season due to an injury, I cannot wait to tackle a complete F3 championship and fight consistently at the sharp end of the grid, he added.
The bond between driver and team traces back through the junior formula ladder, with Campos having promoted Rivera into the Formula Winter series back in 2024, followed by steps up through Eurocup-3 before reaching the FIA F3 grid.
Team Principal Adrian Campos echoed the positive sentiment, praising his driver's rapid learning curve and maturity under pressure. He noted that despite missing the season opener, Rivera delivered fantastic performances and maximized every available racing opportunity.
Adrian Campos concluded that this renewal stands as proof of the mutual trust developed over years of hard work. The upcoming 2027 championship presents another prime opportunity to elevate the driver's career toward higher motorsport pinnacles.
