If you’re an F1 or a Damon Idris fan, you must have seen the Chicken Shop Date episode with Amelia Dimoldenberg, where fans went crazy over the steaming chemistry of the two. And if you liked that, well, hold on tight because Amelia, the girl who had Damon giggling, will soon be shifting gears with real Formula 1 drivers. Yes, you read that right. F1 and Amelia are collaborating to launch a brand-new original series titled “Passenger Princess.” And guess what? It’s going to be served hot on Amelia’s YouTube channel starting October 15, 2025. So, let’s get into the details.
Chicken Shop Date Star: Amelia Dimoldenberg
Amelia Dimoldenberg, the British comedian, writer, and presenter known for putting celebrities in delightfully awkward yet hilarious spots over chicken wings, is diving headfirst into the pit lane of Formula 1. Teaming up with F1 itself, her creative studio Dimz Inc. is rolling out this four-part weekly series where Amelia will be learning to drive.
But not just anywhere, she’s getting lessons from the crème de la crème of racing drivers like George Russell, Oscar Piastri, Ollie Bearman, and Carlos Sainz. Imagine the laughs, the unexpected moments, and of course, Amelia’s signature quirky charm blending with the high-speed drama of F1.
What Is Passenger Princess?
Shot during this year’s Belgian Grand Prix, Passenger Princess promises to mix Amelia’s sharp humour and offbeat interview style with the intensity and thrill that only Formula 1 can deliver. It’s a perfect storm for fans of both worlds, offering a fresh peek behind the scenes of one of the world’s most exciting sports through the eyes of someone who’s not your typical F1 insider. Amelia herself admits she’s not exactly a pro behind the wheel yet, but she’s more than ready to show off her “well-established passenger and interviewing skills.”
Beyond the laughter and fast cars, this series is a strategic move by Formula 1 to expand its reach to younger and diverse audiences. With over 820 million fans worldwide and a booming female following that’s surged to 42%, Formula 1 is openly embracing fresh voices and viewpoints. Amelia’s unique appeal, with her massive social media fanbase of over 3 million followers, is a perfect match to bring in new fans who might not have tuned in otherwise.
In her own words, Amelia Dimoldenberg sums it up best: “My dream has always been to tell stories and work with great collaborators, so I’m proud to be working with such an iconic and recognised brand as F1 on this latest original series.” The collaboration is as much about storytelling as it is about celebrating the culture around racing, and Amelia’s definitely the perfect passenger for this journey.
So, keep an eye out for Amelia’s YouTube channel; you won’t want to miss this blend of fast cars and quick wit taking off at full throttle.
