🇨🇱 Nicolas Ambiado

Nicolas Ambiado is a Chilean driver competing in Formula Regional Americas, a professional single-seater championship. His Racer Rating of 3,599 places him in the semi-professional band, meaning he is capable in competitive fields and wins races against mixed fields of professionals and amateurs, but does not yet compete consistently at the established professional level. Across two seasons and 35 starts in the series, Ambiado has recorded five wins and 16 podiums, averaging a finishing position of P4.5 among classified results.[1]

Ambiado's record shows strength against competitive amateur and developing professional drivers. He has dominated the lower tier of his field, winning 23 of 29 races against James Lawley, a FIA Silver-graded semi-professional, and 21 of 22 against Kevin Janzen, a developing amateur. His head-to-head against Jett Bowling, a semi-professional rated 3,446, is split almost evenly; Ambiado holds a 17-11 edge. Where Ambiado meets stronger opposition, the pattern shifts. Against Titus Sherlock, a FIA Silver-graded former champion rated at the established professional level, Ambiado finished ahead in 10 of 27 races, a record suggesting Sherlock as the dominant driver in that pairing. He has occasional wins against established professionals such as Bijoy Garg and Patrick Woods-Toth, but these are isolated results rather than competitive patterns.[2]

In the 2025 season, Ambiado finished second in the Formula Regional Americas championship with four wins and ten podiums from 19 rounds. His record indicates a capable mid-field professional in a national-level series, able to beat semi-professionals and develop-level drivers with consistency but lacking the pace to challenge the established professionals who dominate the championship outright.
