Just two days after the Formula 3 season concluded, championship contender Freddie Slater has been confirmed as an Invicta driver for next year's Formula 2 campaign. The F3 vice-champion is the first driver announced for the upcoming F2 season.
Slater secured one victory this season, alongside seven additional podium finishes and three pole positions in qualifying. Freddie took the lead in the standings in Hungary and built a significant advantage over Hugo Ugochukwu. However, he ultimately lost the championship battle in Madrid over the weekend, struggling in qualifying and subsequently finishing outside the points.
Slater is a product of Audi's young driver development program and boasts titles in four championships: Ginetta Junior (2023), Formula 4 Italy (2024), Formula 4 UAE (2024), and Formula Regional Europe (2025). 2026 marked his first full season in Formula 3 with Trident.
