Rodin Motorsport driver Callum Voisin has faced a struggle to translate last year's championship-winning GB3 form into results in his rookie Formula 3 season. But the 18-year-old is not the only driver graduating from the series formerly known as British Formula 3 who has found it tough to make an instant impression when arriving on the Formula 1 support series ladder.

Kaylen Fredrick scored just two points in a 2021 season disrupted by a thumb injury and a COVID-enforced absence that caused him to miss seven races. Fellow Carlin driver Zak O'Sullivan finished 11th in the standings in 2022, but had not finished higher than sixth until a strong weekend on home turf at Silverstone yielded a maiden podium.
