Image credit is listed at the end of this article.

Christian Ho Zong Sean (Chinese: 何宗宪; pinyin: Hé Zōngxiàn; born 31 October 2006) is a Singaporean racing driver who last competed in the FIA Formula 3 Championship for Rodin Motorsport.

Ho is the 2023 F4 Spanish vice-champion and 2024 Eurocup-3 champion. He was a member of the Sauber Karting Team from 2019 to 2021.

01Career

Karting (2017-2021)

In 2017 and 2018, Ho competed in his first WSK events in the 60 Mini category. After a year in OK Junior karts, he was the first runner up in the 2019 German Junior Kart Championship with Ricky Flynn Motorsport. He became runner-up to Kajus Siksnelis during the 2019 Karting Academy Trophy. During that year, he also took part in the 2019 Karting World Championship, in which he ranked 11th. In 2020, he finished third in the WSK Champions Cup in the OK Junior category. He also took third place in the IAME Asia Cup, in the senior category.

In September 2021, Ho became the latest signing to Nicolas Todt’s All Road Management stable.

Formula 4 (2022-2023)

Formula 4 UAE

Ho made his single-seater debut in the 2022 Formula 4 UAE Championship with MP Motorsport during the third weekend of the series, in preparation for his upcoming main campaign. He finished tenth in his first race and two races later, in fifth. Two more tenth places saw him place 21st in the standings.

Spanish Formula 4

2022

Ho continued with MP Motorsport for the 2022 F4 Spanish Championship. In the first race, he scored a point in tenth place. His results improved towards the end of the season, scoring two fourth places and a fifth place. Ho ended the championship in 13th place with 50 points.

2023

Ho remained in Spanish F4 for 2023, but switched to Campos Racing. Ho emerged as a contender early on, taking a double podium in Spa-Francorchamps. After a double pole the next round in Aragón, the win was taken away after a track limits penalty in the first race. However, he redeemed himself with a commanding win in Race 2, taking his maiden single-seater victory. Following that, Ho began a run of five podiums in a row starting from Jerez to Valencia, which included two poles. He then took his second win in the Valencia final race. He was at his best during the season finale in Barcelona, taking pole for all three races. Ho dominated during the races, proceeding to take all three wins. Ho finished the season as vice-champion, having taken five wins, seven poles and 291 points.

Formula Regional (2024, 2026)

2024: Eurocup-3 champion

Ho was promoted to Eurocup-3 for 2024, remaining with Campos Racing. A poor start to the season saw him with only a fourth place in the first two rounds. However, he would claim his maiden wins in Portimão, although a suspension failure prevented a clean sweep. He took the standings lead with two poles, a win and a podium in Paul Ricard. However, despite two additional podiums in the next two rounds in Zandvoort and Aragón, title rival Javier Sagrera won thrice, leaving Ho losing the lead of the standings. Ho won the first race in Jerez and a fifth in the second race left him an outside chance for the title, trailing Sagrera by 26 points. However, Ho rebounded in the Barcelona finale with second in the first race and winning the second race. At that time, it meant Ho ended as vice-champion, losing out to Sagrera by two points. However three months later, following a review of results, Ho was awarded the win for the first Barcelona race after an illegal overtake off-track for original winner Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. This meant Ho gained seven points to be crowned champion, five points ahead of Sagrera.

2026: Middle East cameo

In preparation for his 2026 Formula 3 campaign, Ho joined MP Motorsport to contest the first two rounds of the Formula Regional Middle East Trophy.

FIA Formula 3 (2025-2026)

2025

In 2025, Ho stepped up to FIA Formula 3 with new team DAMS Lucas Oil, alongside Matías Zagazeta and Alpine-backed Nicola Lacorte. Ho became the first Singaporean driver to secure a seat on the FIA Formula 3 Championship grid. He had a shaky start to the season in Melbourne with a crash in the feature race, but secured a fourth place starting spot in Bahrain; he took double points with eighth and tenth in the races. Following a series of rounds where he lacked pace with the car, Ho returned to the points in Silverstone after qualifying in the top-12, and managed to place sixth in the sprint and fifth in the feature. This would prove to be his last points finish of the season, as Ho ended up 22nd in the standings with 17 points, ahead of Zagazeta and Lacorte.

2026

Ho continued in Formula 3 for 2026, moving over to Rodin Motorsport, partnering former Spanish F4 rival Pedro Clerot and Brando Badoer. He was replaced for the final round in Madrid by Niccolò Maccagnani.

Hiatus from racing

After leaving FIA Formula 3 in September 2026, Ho announced that he would put his racing career on hold to fulfil the mandatory two years of national service in Singapore.
