Zoël Amberg (born 25 September 1992 in Stans) is a retired Swiss professional racing driver.

Karting

Amberg started his karting career in 2004, mainly racing within Switzerland. By 2008, he progressed through the junior categories to compete in the KF3 and KF2 classes, earning a position as a factory-supported driver for Birel Motorsport.

Formula Renault 2.0

In the year 2009, Amberg transitioned to single-seater racing, participating in both the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 and Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 championships with Jenzer Motorsport. He claimed two victories at Imola, which helped him finish fourth in the Italian championship, while consistent scoring secured him fifth place overall in the Swiss series. Additionally, he took part in one event of the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup held at Barcelona.

Amberg continued competing in the Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 series in 2010, rebranded as the Formula Renault 2.0 Middle European Championship. He dominated by finishing on the podium in every race he entered—totaling ten—including six wins, ultimately clinching the championship title.

Formula Abarth

During 2010, Amberg also raced full-time in Italy’s newly established Formula Abarth series. He won the opening race at Misano and added eight further points-scoring finishes, concluding the season ranked seventh overall.

GP3 Series

Amberg made his first appearance in a GP3 Series car during post-season testing sessions at Estoril and Jerez with Jenzer Motorsport in October 2010. In March 2011, he secured a seat with ATECH CRS GP for the 2011 GP3 campaign, joining fellow British Formula Renault alumni Marlon Stöckinger and Nick Yelloly. Over sixteen races that year, Amberg did not score any points, with his best result being tenth place in the Barcelona sprint race.

Formula Three

In October 2011, Amberg signed with De Villota Motorsport to compete in the last three rounds of the 2011 European F3 Open season. Despite contesting only six races, he managed to finish eighth in the final standings, achieving four podium finishes including a victory at the season finale in Barcelona.

Formula Renault 3.5 Series

Amberg made his debut in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with BVM–Target at Motorland Aragón in October 2010. Following extensive testing with Pons Racing towards the end of 2011, he agreed to a two-year contract beginning with the 2012 Formula Renault 3.5 Series season. His teammate was fellow Formula Three graduate Yann Cunha.
