Red Bull’s most exciting protege since Max Verstappen is on the brink of securing an F1 superlicence. Here’s everything you need to know about Red Bull’s plan for him
Red Bull will have the option to choose Arvid Lindblad as a Formula 1 driver for the upcoming season, based on his impressive performance and potential in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship. Lindblad, highly regarded by Red Bull F1 bosses, has been excelling in the winter series campaign in New Zealand, winning six out of 12 races so far and leading by 59 points. His success in the championship could potentially earn him enough superlicence points to qualify for a seat in F1 as early as 2026. Red Bull’s decision to promote Lindblad to F1’s feeder series reflects their confidence in his abilities and potential for success at a young age. With the possibility of driving in Friday practice sessions and participating in private F1 testing this year, Lindblad is on track to potentially secure an F1 race seat in the near future, positioning him as a strong contender for Red Bull’s future lineup considerations.
