# Freddie Slater (racing driver)

Freddie Slater (born 9 August 2008) is a British racing driver, who is contracted to compete in the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship for Prema.
After a record-breaking karting career—culminating in his victories at the junior direct-drive Karting World Championship in 2020 and the Karting European Championship in 2021 and 2023—Slater graduated to sportscar racing. He won his first title at the Ginetta Junior Winter Series in 2022, followed by the 2023 Ginetta Junior Championship. Slater then progressed to junior formulae, winning the Italian F4 Championship in 2024 with Prema, alongside the F4 UAE Championship with Mumbai Falcons. Graduating to Formula Regional in 2025, he finished runner-up in the Middle East Championship.

## Racing career
### Karting

Slater won countless races in competitive karting in his native country and on an international level.

### Ginetta Series

Slater made his debut in the 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship. After becoming the youngest-ever driver to win the Winter Trophy, he also dominated the 2023 championship.

### Formula 4
#### 2023

Slater made his single-seater debut in August 2023 Double R Racing, in the British Formula 4 Championship, where he finished 4th on his debut establishing the fastest race lap on his third race.

Later that month, Slater participated in the Italian F4 Championship during Rounds 6 and 7 with Van Amersfoort Racing.

#### 2024

In 2024, Slater would race in the Italian F4 Championship full-time with Prema Racing. With his early-season successes, Autosport listed him as one of five "drivers who could become Britain's next [Formula One] winners". He was crowned as the season's champion during Race 2 of Round 6 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Slater would finish the season with a monumental 15 wins, 11 pole positions, and 10 fastest laps. This broke the series record for most wins in a season, which was previously held by Andrea Kimi Antonelli with 13 wins in 2022. He would also have the largest points margin in the series' history, with 143 points separating him and runner up Jack Beeton.
Slater would also race in the Euro 4 Championship, also with Prema Racing. He finished the season in 2nd, while acquiring two race wins and 106 points.

### Formula Regional
#### 2024

Slater made his Formula Regional debut with SJM Theodore Prema Racing in the FIA Formula Regional World Cup. Slater would not finish the race due to a final lap crash, but was classified in 13th since he completed 85% of the race. Slater was in 4th for most of the race, but crashed into the barriers while attempting a divebomb overtake on Noel León, who was 3rd.

#### 2025

During the pre-season, Slater will compete in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship with Mumbai Falcons.
