It was an early signal of what would follow: immediate pace, control under pressure and the ability to turn strong qualifying positions into major results.\u00a0After the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia rounds created a long break in the calendar, Freddie returned to racing on the streets of Monaco. Again, he secured a third-place start. Again, he left with a Feature Race podium. On one of the most demanding circuits of the season, the momentum continued.\u00a0Barcelona and Spielberg brought more complicated weekends. Qualifying setbacks at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and a first-lap collision in Spielberg put Freddie under pressure, but both weekends still brought more silverware. A Sprint Race podium from the second row of the reverse grid in Barcelona was followed by another Feature Race top three, extending a run of results that kept him firmly in the title conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The season began in Melbourne, where Freddie started his Formula 3 debut weekend from third and converted it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":851335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-851334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=851334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/851334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/851335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=851334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=851334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=851334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
