Van Amersfoort Racing (VAR) is gearing up for a promising 2025 Formula 3 season with an entirely new roster. The team, which had a successful 2024 campaign, now welcomes three drivers: Ivan Domingues, Théophile Nael, and Santiago Ramos. Each brings unique strengths that could propel VAR to greater heights.

Ivan Domingues, despite being new to Formula 3, has a strong connection with the team. Over the past two seasons, he has raced with VAR in various categories, including Italian F4 and FRECA. His familiarity with the team environment will likely ease his transition into the higher stakes of Formula 3. Domingues has already participated in post-season tests at Jerez and Barcelona, gaining valuable experience behind the wheel of a Formula 3 car. This preparation positions him well for a competitive start in Melbourne.

Théophile Nael, the 2023 Spanish F4 Champion, joins VAR for his rookie Formula 3 season. The French driver's journey from karting to single-seater racing has been marked by consistent success. In 2023, he dominated the Spanish F4 series with multiple podium finishes and victories. His recent performances in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship further underscore his potential. Nael's momentum and adaptability make him a formidable addition to the team. Pre-season testing in Barcelona will be crucial for him to acclimate fully to the new challenges of Formula 3.

Santiago Ramos returns for his second year in Formula 3, bringing invaluable experience to the squad. Last season, while racing for TRIDENT, he achieved notable results, including a pole position and a podium finish. Although there were setbacks, Ramos demonstrated his ability to compete at the front when conditions aligned. His feedback on the new car will be instrumental as VAR aims to refine its strategy. With Ramos's guidance, the team hopes to build a solid foundation for a successful season.

The synergy between these three drivers and the experienced VAR team promises an exciting 2025 season. By leveraging their individual strengths and collective experience, they aim to elevate VAR's standing in Formula 3. As the team looks to improve on last year's seventh-place finish, the optimism surrounding this lineup is palpable. The coming months will reveal just how far this combination can take them, but the signs are encouraging for a bright future ahead.
