Campos Racing 2025 Season Review: A maiden title success

19 September 2025

For the first time in their history, Campos Racing ended the FIA Formula 3 season top of the pile as the team to beat.

The Spanish outfit summited the F3 mountain after a stellar season from all three of their drivers, with Nikola Tsolov and Mari Boya fighting for the Drivers’ Championship, and teammate Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak making a second year leap to seventh in the Standings.

All three stood on the top step at various stages of the season, something that eponymous Team Principal Adrián Campos Jr said was a huge source of pride.

“I couldn’t be happier with how the season went,” he said. “I’m very proud of everyone here in the team. We are doing such a good job of learning and developing with these new cars that we are racing. We have always been competitive.

“It’s amazing. It’s something that’s never happened in the past and we have 27 years of history. It’s something we couldn’t imagine five years ago, and you can’t imagine how happy it makes me.

“All three drivers and the team overall were very competitive, drivers that were struggling in the past managed to fight at the top with us.

The eponymous team boss was thrilled with his outfit's performance across the board in 2025

“By the end of the Championship, we had all three drivers in the top seven, so I couldn’t ask for more from them.

“In the end, everything went our way in Monza. We did the best race we probably could have done on Sunday when we had to do it in the final moments, so I’m very proud of everybody.”

Campos has been on a steady upward trajectory from their early years in F3, equalling or making improvements in all but one of their years in the Championship from one season to the next.

Part of that has come from a culture he has defined within the team of allowing the team’s staff to succeed.

Campos Jr defines this as allowing people’s strengths to be amplified and having others to focus on their own, improving the team across the board.

“It’s important. I believe that not everyone can do everything. We have three engineers and all three have different abilities and can be better in one aspect compared to another. And that is what being a team is about.

“It’s giving each one a responsibility where they know they can deliver, and at the moment I think it’s working very well.

Campos Jr says that Monte Carlo was a crucial point in the team's season

“I think that when people are doing what they do best, it keeps them going, keeps them motivated and I need to make sure that they have what they need to do what they do best.”

Asked to pick a favourite moment outside of winning the title, Campos Jr says that the Monte Carlo weekend was a defining one in the big picture of the 2025 campaign.

Tsolov turned pole into a well-earned Feature Race victory, the team’s first in the Principality, while teammate Mari Boya joined him on the podium in third.

From that point on, the Campos Team Principal says that momentum only built, and while Tsolov lost a further win at Red Bull Ring, it was a season-altering weekend that set them on the path to the title.

“I think that first win we had in Monaco with Nikola was a very special moment. It was such a dominant weekend where we knew we could be strong, and it turned out we were.

“That started a lot of momentum for us. What happened at the Red Bull Ring was a shame, but we were extremely competitive. Mari also finished third for us in Monaco, but that was another big highlight of the season for us.”

Now that Campos have claimed their first F3 title, they have no intention of letting it go in 2026, but Campos Jr acknowledges their task next season will be even tougher.

Holding onto their title of F3 Teams’ Champions will take a lot of hard work, and he expects a big response from all nine rival teams. However, having a target on their backs is a motivator according to the Campos team boss, who adds that they’ll be going for the double next time around.

“Now we face the most difficult challenge I think of needing to stay on top. We can’t improve our position because we won, but we will have nine teams pushing like hell behind us, so we will need to be at our best to stay on top of the Teams’ Standings next year.

“We’ve started our preparations already, and I’m very confident of how 2026 can go. The goal is to defend the Championship, and fight for the Drivers’ title once again. Hopefully next year is when we achieve the double. That’s what we’ll be pushing for.”
