Red Bull has confirmed the emergency scenario it has in place for if Max Verstappen gets a one-race F1 ban.
Red Bull is considering promoting either Isack Hadjar or Liam Lawson if Max Verstappen faces a one-round suspension in the F1 season.
Ayumu Iwasa, the current reserve driver, will step in for Red Bull Racing in such a scenario.
Arvid Lindblad, who could potentially get a super license exemption, might not debut in F1 even with special permission from the governing body.
Despite being 17 and not turning 18 until August, Lindblad has enough super license points for consideration by the World Motor Sport Council this week.
While Lindblad may be a reserve driver for F1 weekends alongside his usual F2 commitments, it’s still uncertain if he will indeed be called up.
Verstappen is close to facing an F1 ban after the Spanish Grand Prix, already accumulating 11 penalty points out of the maximum 12 over the past 12 months.
Points will only be removed from his license after the Austrian Grand Prix, and he’ll have to wait until October for further points to be cleared after last season’s incidents with Lando Norris.
