Max Verstappen has imparted some advice to the F2 driver branded “the next Max Verstappen”.
Max Verstappen has acknowledged the comparisons between himself and Red Bull junior Arvid Lindblad, who is considered to be the next potential F1 star at just 17 years old. Despite currently competing in his rookie F2 season and participating in his first FP1 session for Red Bull at the British Grand Prix, Lindblad received a super license exemption from the FIA due to his exceptional talent. While there is significant hype surrounding Lindblad and high expectations for his future in F1, he is determined to carve out his own path and not be solely defined by comparisons to Verstappen. Verstappen, on his part, commended Lindblad’s skills and Red Bull’s approach in developing the young driver, urging him to stay true to himself and focus on his own progression gradually. Verstappen emphasized the importance of allowing Lindblad to mature at his own pace and expressed optimism about the youngster’s potential success in F1 when the time comes for his debut in the elite racing category.
