Athlete Profile: Jamie Chadwick, Motor Racing

Jamie Chadwick is a 19 year old female racing driver working towards her ambition of competing in F1. Jamie currently races in British F3, three levels below F1, for Douglas Motorsport. As well as British F3 Jamie will be driving for Aston Martin in the prestigious Nurburgring 24hr race in May as well as a number of U.S F2000 races. Jamie’s big breakthrough came in 2013 when she won the prestigious Ginetta Junior Scholarship, beating 60 other young finalists from the UK and Europe in a range of disciplines involving media skills, fitness and racing. She then went on to became the youngest and first female winner of the British GT championship in 2016. Since making the move to single seater racing last year she has continued to impress and has her sights set on challenging for the British F3 title this season.  Chris Stafford caught up with Jamie ahead of Rounds 4-6 of the Formula 3 Championships which took place at Rockingham on April 28-29 where despite a mixed weekend she qualified 4th.
