Zoël Amberg (born 25 September 1992 in Stans) is a professional racing driver from Switzerland.
Amberg began karting in 2004 and raced primarily in his native Switzerland for the majority of his career, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF3 and KF2 categories by 2008, when he became a works driver for the Birel Motorsport team.
In 2009, Amberg graduated to single–seaters, racing in both the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 and Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 championships for Jenzer Motorsport. Two race victories at the final round of the season in Imola saw him finish fourth in the Italian series, whilst in the Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 championship he finished fifth overall after scoring points in all but one of the 12 races. During the year he also contested a single round of the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup at Barcelona.
Amberg remained in Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 for a second season in 2010, when the series became known as the Formula Renault 2.0 Middle European Championship. He won the title in dominant fashion, finishing on the podium in all ten races he competed in, winning six of them.
Also in 2010, Amberg contested a full season in the newly launched Formula Abarth series in Italy. He took a single victory at the opening round of the season in Misano and a further eight points–scoring positions to finish seventh in the championship.
