F3年度亚军、奥迪F1青训车手弗雷迪·斯莱特将于2027年随Invicta 比赛升入F2。
这位2024年意大利F4和2025年欧洲区域方程式冠军于2026年被奥迪签下，以领衔其新设立的车手发展计划，同时他随Trident车队征战F3。
连续四场正赛登上领奖台，使斯莱特在进入夏休期前从二年级车手乌戈·乌戈丘库手中夺走积分榜领先位置，但他在赛季最后五场比赛中仅再得15分，最终在冠军争夺中被这位Campos车手超越。
斯莱特仍是本赛季最佳新秀——尽管他曾在2025年参加过两站比赛。八个领奖台（包括匈牙利站一胜）意味着这位18岁的英国车手轻松获得年度亚军，领先二年级车手图卡·塔波宁和同为一年级新秀的加藤大翔。
“我非常兴奋明年能随Invicta 比赛升入F2，”斯莱特说。“本赛季我在F3学到了很多，我觉得自己在这一年中作为车手和个人都有所成长。”
“Invicta在F2有着出色的战绩，我迫不及待想与车队开始合作，共同备战我们的赛季。我也非常感谢奥迪车手发展计划一直以来的支持。我还有很多东西要学，我非常期待迎接这一新挑战。”
近年来，Trident到Invicta的输送通道极为成功，多次出现连续夺冠的情况。
加布里埃尔·博尔托莱托、莱昂纳多·福纳罗利和拉斐尔·卡马拉随这支意大利车队赢得了此前三个F3年度冠军，随后转投这支位于诺福克的车队征战F2——其中博尔托莱托和福纳罗利在F2首个赛季便成为冠军。目前卡马拉在2026赛季积分榜上紧随第二名，很有机会复制他们的成就。
尽管斯莱特在F3中惜败未能夺冠，但这些正是他2027年力争效仿的榜样。
“升入F2对弗雷迪来说是自然的下一步，也是他作为车手发展的重要新阶段，”奥迪车手发展计划总监艾伦·麦克尼什说。
“他度过了一个强劲的F3赛季，一直争夺冠军到最后一场比赛——全年展现了他的速度、比赛能力和进步。我们为弗雷迪本赛季取得的成就以及他一路走来的成长感到非常自豪。
“Invicta 比赛近年来战绩出色，我们很高兴能与他们合作。我们相信这是他的理想环境，并期待在他2027年迎接这一新挑战时给予支持。”

Audi F1 junior Freddie Slater signs F2 deal for 2027 season
Audi junior Slater will step up with Invicta Racing after a successful 2026 campaign at Trident
Formula 3 runner-up and Audi Formula 1 junior Freddie Slater will step up to Formula 2 with Invicta Racing in 2027.
The 2024 Italian F4 and 2025 Formula Regional European champion was signed by Audi to spearhead its new Driver Development Programme in 2026, while he moved to F3 with Trident.
Four consecutive feature-race podiums meant Slater snatched the lead of the championship away from sophomore Ugo Ugochukwu going into the summer break, but he only scored 15 more points across the last five races of the season and was surpassed by the Campos driver in the title battle.
Slater still was the best rookie of the season – though he did take part in two rounds in 2025. Eight podiums including one victory in Hungary meant the 18-year-old Briton comfortably took the runner-up spot ahead of second-year Tuukka Taponen and fellow debutant Taito Kato.
“I’m really excited to be stepping up to Formula 2 with Invicta Racing next year,” Slater said. “I learned a lot in Formula 3 this season, and I feel I have developed as a driver and as a person over the course of the year.
“Invicta has a great record in Formula 2, and I cannot wait to get started with the team and prepare for our campaign together. I am also very grateful for the continued support from the Audi Driver Development Programme. There is still a lot for me to learn, and I’m really looking forward to taking on this new challenge.”
The Trident-to-Invicta pipeline has been extremely successful in recent years with several instances of back-to-back titles.
Gabriel Bortoleto, Leonardo Fornaroli and Rafael Camara earned the previous three F3 crowns with the Italian squad, before switching to the Norfolk-based outfit in F2 – where Bortoleto and Fornaroli became champions as rookies. Currently a close second in the 2026 standings, Camara has a decent chance of emulating them.
Even though he narrowly failed to prevail in F3, these are the examples Slater will aim to follow in 2027.
“The move to Formula 2 is the natural next step for Freddie, and an important new phase of his development as a driver,” said Audi Driver Development Programme director Allan McNish.
“He enjoyed a strong Formula 3 season, fighting for the title until the final round – showing his speed, racecraft and progress throughout the year. We are very proud of what Freddie has achieved this season and how he has developed along the way.
“Invicta Racing has had an excellent record in recent years, and we are delighted to be working with them. We believe it is the ideal environment for him, and we look forward to supporting him as he takes on this new challenge in 2027.”
