🇬🇧 Frederick Lubin

Frederick Lubin was a British racing driver rated 4,956, placing him in the professional band; this represents a driver capable of winning in competitive fields at national level and beating semi-professionals comfortably. His career across four seasons from 2020 to 2023 comprised 75 starts yielding one win and 14 podiums, with an average finishing position of P6.5, indicating mid-field consistency rather than front-running pace.[1]

Lubin's progression moved through single-seaters before transitioning to endurance racing. In British F4 during 2020, his 24 starts produced no wins or podiums against a national junior field. He stepped to GB3 in 2021, where 18 starts yielded two podiums without a victory. His breakthrough came in Euroformula Open in 2022, where he scored his sole career win across 26 starts for Team Motopark alongside nine podiums, demonstrating he could win in a competitive international formula. His final season, 2023 WEC, represented his only foray into the top tier of endurance racing; competing for United Autosports, he recorded three podiums from seven World Championship starts and finished sixth in the final standings.[2]

Throughout his career Lubin faced a mix of stronger and comparable drivers. He held a losing head-to-head record against the majority of his frequent rivals: against Christian Mansell and Zak O'Sullivan he finished ahead just 25 and 8 times respectively despite 65 and 40 shared races, indicating those drivers typically outpaced him. However, he proved capable of isolated strong results against elite company, notably finishing ahead of Platinum-graded champions including Robert Kubica twice and Robin Frijns four times. His FIA Silver categorisation reflected his status as a professional-level endurance driver, though his limited WEC tenure and mid-field average suggest he did not establish himself as a regular frontrunner at that level. Lubin retired from racing after 2023.
