The 2025 F3 season has had a mixed first half for Callum Voisin, facing the highs of the podium and the lows of race retirements. He has breached the top ten in the driver’s standings but has been left wanting more, with more strong results hopefully on the horizon.
Coming into his second season in Formula 3 with Rodin Motorsport, Voisin was looking for consistency and to build on his one win and two podiums from his rookie season. Staying with Rodin gave him some level of familiarity. However, with new cars in F3 for the 2025 season, all the drivers have been placed on a level playing field.
Opening rounds of 2025
It was a decent season start for the Brit, taking a ninth place finish in the Melbourne Sprint Race after Qualifying down in 18th. Although his teammate was on the podium, Voisin’s battle up an impressive nine places to take points was a strong performance, for the opening race of the season.
Unfortunately, the Feature Race didn’t build on the momentum. Voisin suffered a collision midway through the race which left him unable to finish and leaving the Feature Race with no points. However, Voisin was determined to fight back in Bahrain.
The Brit qualified for the Bahrain GP in second. Starting the Sprint Race in 11th due to the reverse grid, the opportunity for points were on the table, but it wouldn’t be easy. Although Voisin impressed again.
In the Sprint Race, he climbed from 11th to fourth, collecting a decent haul of points, but the first big results came in the Feature Race when Voisin came home with P2. This marked his first podium of the year.
Then begun the European triple-header, and Voisin’s first weekend without points. Imola is known for being a difficult track to overtake at. Even with the smaller, lighter Formula 3 cars, Qualifying remained the most important part of the weekend. Voisin qualified 22nd.
In the Feature Race, Voisin fell to 26th, the final place of drivers still in the race. The Feature Race came with hope, and he managed to climb to 18th. Although, he was still six places off of the points. It was Voisin’s worst weekend of the season so far, and not something he was looking to repeat.
A final push
Monaco and Spain came with more consistency and insight into the potential Voisin had. Monaco even more so than Imola, Qualifying remained key. Voisin finished second in his group, closely behind his teammate with an overall starting position of fourth.
With the narrow streets allowing little to no overtaking, Voisin made up just one place in the Sprint Race, and held onto fourth for the Feature. Although it wasn’t the most thrilling weekend for the Brit, it was a solid haul of points, and a weekend without incident, where so many had touched the walls.
Barcelona was a completely different challenge. A track in which F3 drivers have spent the most time, in testing or other series. The track is technically difficult and required precision.
Voisin qualified 16th, not the best, but not impossible to improve upon. The Sprint Race saw Voisin finish 16th, not making up any ground and leaving the race with no points. However, in the Feature Race as chaos reigned around him, Voisin found himself in tenth.
Voisin ends the first six round in ninth place with 41 points. With only 15 points keeping him for the top five and 29 away from the top three. Formula 3 is competitive, with the standings changing drastically from weekend to weekend.
Consistency is the coveted aspect of the series, and with Voisin’s form so far, there is no reason moving up the standings should be out of reach. With the performance he’s shown more podiums and perhaps a second win, is definitely on the cards.
