• CHLOE CHONG secured a groundbreaking sponsorship with Charlotte Tilbury for the 2025 F1 Academy season, marking the first time a female-founded beauty brand has backed the series. The 17-year-old returns to Rodin Motorsport fresh off being the youngest driver in F1 Academy’s inaugural season, and she’s not hiding her ambition to put that “Hot Lips car” on the top step.
• Beyond the historic partnership, CHONG opened up about racing’s ongoing accessibility issues, calling out the sport’s “old-money club” reputation that keeps out women and minorities. Her “Make Your Own Destiny” motto isn’t just campaign fluff—it’s her roadmap for breaking barriers in a sport that’s still catching up to the 21st century.
• While learning skincare routines and pre-race beauty prep might seem trivial, CHONG’s candidness about helmet-induced breakouts and discovering proper skincare shows how female athletes navigate challenges their male counterparts never consider. Her simple pre-race ritual—AC/DC playlist, solo pacing, and low ponytail—proves you don’t need elaborate superstitions when you’ve got raw speed and determination.
