Career

Karting

Between 2017 and 2019, Ramos competed in various karting championships, such as the German Karting Championship and the WSK Euro Series.

Formula 4

Ramos competed in the final 3 rounds of the 2019 Italian F4 Championship with DR Formula by RP Motorsport, where he had a highest finish of 20th. He then signed with Jenzer Motorsport to compete in the 2020 Italian F4 Championship, though he would not appear until the fourth round. ^[1] From then, he scored regular points and finished 16th in the standings, with a best finish of fifth.

In 2021, Ramos continued racing for Jenzer in Italian F4, this time with a view of completing the full season. ^[2] However, he withdrew from round 2 at the Misano World Circuit due to an injury and did not appear at the following event. He finished 22nd in the standings, having scored on three occasions. He also contested the opening round of the F4 Spanish Championship that year, scoring a podium at Spa.

On 28 February 2022, it was announced that Ramos would step up to the Formula Regional European Championship with KIC Motorsport. ^[3] Ramos moved to Race Performance Motorsport for the final round at Mugello, and was replaced by William Alatalo. ^[4] He failed to score points throughout the year and ended up 27th overall.

For 2023, Ramos remained with Race Performance Motorsport for his second season. ^[5] This year, his results improved markedly, as Ramos went on an early-season scoring streak and even finished on the podium at the Hungaroring thanks to a committed defensive drive versus Michael Belov. ^[6] His results worsened in the second half of the campaign, which was compounded by him missing the penultimate round at Zandvoort, and Ramos ended up 11th overall. ^{[7] [8]}

FIA Formula 3 Championship

2024

Ramos joined Trident for the Formula 3 post-season testing in preparation for a full season in 2024, where he partnered Leonardo Fornaroli and Sami Meguetounif. ^{[9] [10]} His first points came in the Sakhir feature race with a fifth place. ^[11] At the following round in Melbourne Ramos was penalised for rejoining the track in an unsafe manner during the feature event and ended both races in 24th. ^[12] Imola heralded his most notable performance of the year, as Ramos led a Trident 1-2-3 in qualifying. ^[13] Ramos held the lead at the start but was soon passed by Fornaroli and Oliver Goethe, before dropping to eighth by the flag thanks to struggles with tyre wear. ^[14]

No points at Monaco were followed by a missed opportunity during the Barcelona sprint race, where Ramos led after the first lap before being taken out of contention by teammate Meguetounif. ^[15] Ramos finished tenth in the feature race but went two rounds without scoring thereafter, only getting back to the top ten with fifth place during the feature race in Budapest. ^[16] At Spa, Ramos finished eighth in both races, despite suffering a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits on Saturday. ^{[17] [18]} Ramos concluded his season by finishing second in the Monza sprint race, claiming the place thanks to a penalty given to Sebastián Montoya for pushing Ramos off the track. ^{[19] [20]} He finished 16th in the championship, last of the Trident drivers. ^[21]

2025

On January 26th—his 21st birthday—it was announced that Ramos would move to Van Amersfoort Racing for the 2025 FIA Formula 3 season. ^[22]
