Santiago Ramos Joins Trident for Thrilling 2024 FIA Formula 3 Season

In a move that solidifies Trident's commitment to nurturing rising talents, the Italian motorsport powerhouse has announced Santiago Ramos as their latest addition for the upcoming 2024 FIA Formula 3 campaign. This pivotal decision marks a significant step in Ramos's racing career, propelling the 19-year-old Mexican prodigy into the limelight of one of the most competitive junior formulas in the world.

Santiago Ramos, who has demonstrated remarkable skill and resilience in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, is set to partner with Leonardo Fornaroli and fellow rookie Sami Meguetounif at Trident. This dynamic trio represents a blend of experience and fresh energy, promising an electrifying season ahead in the FIA Formula 3 championship.

Ramos's journey to the third tier of motorsport is a testament to his dedication and skill. Finishing 11th in the standings in his second FRECA campaign, he has shown flashes of brilliance, highlighted by a podium finish that underscores his racing pedigree. His seamless transition to the FIA Formula 3 grid was evident during the post-season tests, where he impressively clocked 407 laps over six days at the challenging circuits of Jerez, Barcelona, and Imola.

Santiago Ramos's enthusiasm for his F3 debut is palpable. In his own words, "So happy to announce that I’m joining Trident Motorsport for the FIA F3 championship! Working closely with them during post-season testing has been fantastic. I’m excited about this new chapter, ready to give it my all, and looking forward to making every race weekend a memorable experience. Huge thanks to Trident, Escudería Telmex, and my sponsors for this opportunity!”

Trident's commitment to fostering new talent is evident in their choice of Ramos. Giacomo Ricci, Trident Team Manager, shared his optimism about this new venture, saying, “It is with extreme delight and confidence that we welcome a young prospect like Santiago Ramos to our line-up. We are looking forward to doing a great job with him, and we think we have all the necessary resources to allow him to improve and make his way through the motorsport ladder. We like to invest in rookie drivers, who have yet to express their full talent. I am convinced that, together with Santiago, we will achieve our goals as in the team's tradition."

Ramos's career trajectory, from his early days in karting to his single-seater debut in Italian F4 in 2019, has been marked by steady growth and impressive performances. His fifth-place best result in Italian F4 and subsequent move to the FRECA grid in 2022 have set the stage for this new challenge in the FIA Formula 3 championship with Trident.

As the 2024 FIA Formula 3 season approaches, all eyes will be on Santiago Ramos and Trident. With a blend of youthful exuberance and strategic prowess, this partnership is poised to make a significant impact on the track. The FIA Formula 3 championship has always been a breeding ground for future stars, and Santiago Ramos, with Trident's backing, could very well be the next big name in motorsport.
