A potential future Red Bull Formula 1 driver is edging closer to gaining a necessary super licence to compete in the pinnacle of motorsport.
Red Bull junior driver Arvid Lindblad is close to winning the Formula Regional Oceania Championship and securing a super license, potentially allowing him to race in F1 this year with an FIA exception due to his age. He recently clinched his seventh victory in the winter series, putting him within grasp of the title and super license eligibility. At Teretonga Park in New Zealand, Lindblad notched his seventh overall championship win by triumphing in the second race of the weekend. With only one race weekend left at Highlands Motorsport Park, he needs just one more win to obtain the super license. Lindblad, highly regarded by Red Bull’s Christian Horner and Helmut Marko, previously raced for Prema Racing in Formula 3 and has advanced to Formula 2 this season with Campos Racing. Reflecting on his latest win, Lindblad expressed his determination to come out on top and highlighted the critical importance of the race start in achieving success.
