Tsasnapol Inthraphuvasak will embark on his second season in Formula 3 in 2025, and he will be hoping to improve his fortunes.
The Thai driver will be joining Campos Racing next season, having spent his debut year in 2024 with AIX Racing.
Inthraphuvasak endured a torrid time in Formula 3 this season as he finished 24th in the standings with just nine points.
Alongside his season in F3, the 18-year-old also competed in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship where he enjoyed better fortunes. Grabbing three podiums, Inthraphuvasak finished ninth in the standings.
Heading into 2025, the Thai driver will be hoping for a stronger season in F3 with Campos as he will no doubt be looking to move up the ranks and emulate the success of his ‘racing idol’ in Formula 1.

Inthraphuvasak’s 2024 F3 season got off to a horrible start. After finishing 16th and 19th in the races in Bahrain, the Thai driver suffered retirements in both Melbourne races and the Sprint Race in Imola, before finishing 28th in Feature Race.
In the next eight races, Inthraphuvasak finished in the top 20 only four times as he struggled to get his car away from the back of the field and into the points. At the Sprint Race in Hungary, the 18-year-old finally got off the mark, and it was with first podium as he finished second in an AIX Racing one-two finish with Nikita Bedrin.

Inthraphuvasak would not score another point for the rest of the year, but still managed to beat his teammate Joshua Dufek, who only managed to score one point all season.
As he joins Campos for 2025, the Thai driver is looking to replicate the career of fellow countryman Alex Albon. Speaking with the F3 website, Inthraphuvasak named the Williams driver, who has scored 240 points in his F1 career so far, as his ‘racing idol.’
“My racing hero would have to be Alex Albon,” he said. “When I was growing up and I started racing, he was doing GP3 and F2 and I was early in karting, so watching him grow as a driver and progress in his career was really good to watch.
“Obviously now he is in F1 and he is Thai, so I support him, and he is my racing idol. I’ve met him before at an event in Thailand but not spoken to him too much, but hopefully I can soon.”

The 20-year-old went better in 2024 as he registered nine points finishes to finish 15th in the standings. Boya grabbed his first win in F3 at the Sprint Race in Catalunya.
Campos are yet to confirm their third driver for 2025, but both Boya and Inthraphuvasak will be hoping for better seasons with the team next season.
