The Colombian teenager has spent the last two years in the Double R squad's Formula BMW operation in the UK and Europe. He took his first pole position and podium finish in the season finale at Monza.
"Carlos is a well liked member of the team, and we're delighted that he's chosen to stay on with us as he makes the step up to Formula 3," said team boss Anthony Hieatt.
"Carlos has already completed quite a bit of testing with us in the F3 car, and has adapted very well. Judging on the progress he's made already, I think he will have a strong first year in F3 in 2009."
Huertas said he was very pleased to continue his relationship with former F3 champions Raikkonen Robertson for another year.
"I'm very excited about next season and to be making the move up to Formula 3", he said.
"I'm very happy in the Double R team and I'm pleased that I can make this next step up in my career with them. British F3 is a great championship that has produced many of today's top drivers, so I'm looking forward to competing in the championship in 2009 with one of the best teams."
