Jamie Chadwick

Chadwick was born on 20 May 1998 in Bath and grew up on the Isle of Man. Her father Michael is a property developer and her mother Jasmine is an Indian-born businesswoman. She was educated at Cheltenham College, Gloucestershire, and currently resides in London.

Chadwick started her motorsport career in kart racing at the age of eleven, following her brother Oliver into the sport. She started car racing in 2013, turning down a trial with the England under-eighteen hockey team to compete at the Ginetta Junior scholarship weekend, where she won a scholarship for the 2013 Ginetta Junior Championship season. Racing alongside her brother for the JHR Developments team, she finished tenth. She remained in the series for 2014, taking five podium finishes to finish eighth overall.

In March 2015 Chadwick was announced as a driver for Beechdean Motorsport in the 2015 British GT Championship, competing in the GT4 class alongside co-driver Ross Gunn in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The pairing took two wins and five podiums, including a win in the Silverstone 24-Hour race, making Chadwick the first female and youngest ever champion of the British GT Championship.

She stayed in British GT for 2016, driving in the GT4 pro class with Generation AMR SuperRacing for part of the season before returning to Beechdean Motorsport. She also competed in race 9 of the 2016 VLN season, driving the Nexcel AMR Aston Martin GT8 and finishing third in the SP8 class.

Chadwick moved into single-seater racing in 2017, joining Double R Racing for the 2017 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship, finishing ninth overall. For 2018 she moved to Douglas Motorsport within the same championship and in August became the first woman to win a British F3 race, claiming victory in the reversed-grid race at Brands Hatch, finishing the season eighth.

Chadwick also entered the 2018 24 Hours of Nürburgring, driving the Aston Martin Vantage V8 GT4 alongside Jonathan Adam, Alex Lynn and Pete Cate, finishing fifth in class and sixty-third overall.

In November 2018 she signed for the 2018–19 MRF Challenge season. She won six of the ten remaining races at Bahrain and Chennai to claim the title, becoming the first woman to win the MRF Challenge.

In March 2019 Chadwick was announced as an entrant for the inaugural W Series season and as an official junior driver for Aston Martin Racing. At the opening race at Hockenheim, she led both practice sessions, qualified on pole and, despite briefly losing the lead to Alice Powell, took the first win in W Series history.

At Zolder she qualified on pole but finished second behind Beitske Visser. At Misano she qualified second, moved to the front at the start and held off Visser to win. She finished third at Norisring behind Marta García and Visser, and third again at Assen. Entering the season finale at Brands Hatch with a 13-point lead over Visser, Chadwick qualified on pole but finished fourth — enough to win the inaugural W Series title. She was nominated for the 2019 BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award.

The 2020 W Series season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 Chadwick retained the title after a close battle with Alice Powell, adding fifteen points to her Super Licence tally. On 22 February 2022 she was confirmed to return for a third season with Jenner Racing. She won the first two races at the Miami International Autodrome and then won at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, recording five consecutive W Series victories. Following the early termination of the 2022 championship for financial reasons, Chadwick was declared champion for the third time, ahead of Visser. She was again a finalist for the BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award.

Chadwick participated in the opening three races of the 2019 F3 Asian Championship as preparation for the W Series season. In the 2019 24 Hours of Nürburgring she raced with Aston Martin alongside Alex Brundle, finishing first in the SP8T class and twenty-seventh overall.

In 2020 she was awarded ten Super Licence points after finishing fourth in the 2019–20 F3 Asian Championship, and joined Prema Powerteam for the Formula Regional European Championship, finishing ninth.

Chadwick was among the first drivers announced for the inaugural Extreme E season in 2021, running a partial campaign with Veloce Racing. The team withdrew from the first race due to car damage, placed second in the second round and sixth in the final round. She drove in a shootout at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed alongside Max Fewtrell.

During the 2018–19 Formula E season Chadwick took two test drives with the NIO Formula E team, in Riyadh and Marrakesh. She took part in the 2020 rookie test with Jaguar Racing. She tested the Gen3 car at the 2024 Portland ePrix and was announced to drive for Jaguar in the 2024–25 Formula E season women's and rookie tests, placing second in the Women's test behind Abbi Pulling. She returned for the 2025 Jeddah ePrix rookie free practice, the Berlin rookie test alongside 2024 Formula 3 champion Leonardo Fornaroli, and the 2025–26 Formula E season women's test alongside Juju Noda.

On 20 May 2019 Chadwick became the second driver to join the Williams Driver Academy as a development driver. In 2023 she drove Keke Rosberg's FW08C at the Goodwood Festival of Speed — her first time in a Formula 1 car. In 2024 her role changed to "Williams Racing Driver" and she became the F1 Academy Adviser for fellow Williams driver Lia Block. In February 2025 she was confirmed as a Williams Racing driver ambassador.

In August 2022 Andretti Autosport announced plans to test Chadwick at Sebring International Raceway in a Dallara IL-15 Indy Lights car; she covered over 120 laps on 21 September. On 1 December 2022 Andretti Autosport signed her for the 2023 Indy NXT season. She struggled initially but improved in the second half, earning five top-ten finishes over the final eight races.

In October 2023 she was confirmed to return to Andretti Global for the 2024 Indy NXT season. She showed immediate improvement and scored her best result at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, finishing third in race 3 — the first woman on the Indy NXT podium since Pippa Mann in 2010. In race 6 at Road America she converted her maiden pole position into a maiden victory, becoming the first woman to win in Indy NXT/Indy Lights since Pippa Mann in 2010 and the first woman in series history to claim both a road course pole and a road course win. On 31 July 2024 an official IndyCar test with Andretti Global at Barber Motorsports Park was announced for 30 September.

In December 2024 Chadwick signed with IDEC Sport for the 2025 European Le Mans Series, driving alongside Logan Sargeant and Mathys Jaubert. The team operates in collaboration with Genesis Magma Racing as it prepares for a Le Mans Hypercar debut in the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship. Sargeant later withdrew and was replaced by Daniel Juncadella.
