American
Kaylen Frederick is an American racing driver who spent three seasons in the FIA Formula 3 Championship after winning the British F3 title.
Junior career
Frederick came up through US and European junior single-seaters and capped his pre-F3 career by winning the 2020 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship, the final running of that title.
Formula 3
He stepped up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2021 with Carlin, but his rookie season was disrupted by a crash and injury at the Red Bull Ring that caused him to miss several races; he finished 22nd. For 2022 Frederick switched to Hitech Grand Prix, partnering Isack Hadjar, and showed flashes of pace with several top-10 finishes but ended 17th amid incidents and reliability issues. In 2023 he joined ART Grand Prix hoping to fight for podiums, but the team endured an unexpectedly poor campaign and Frederick scored only a small share of its points, finishing 21st.
After F3
After three years in FIA F3, Frederick moved across to Japan to race in the Super Formula Lights category, continuing his single-seater career outside Europe.
