Arvid Lindblad has secured his FIA Super License by winning the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, positioning him as a potential Red Bull and RB reserve driver. The British-Swedish 17-year-old rose through the ranks quickly, claiming four victories in his first Formula 3 season and finishing fourth in the drivers’ standings last year. By securing the title in New Zealand, Lindblad fulfilled the final requirements for his Super License with two races to spare. Despite not yet being 18, Lindblad is expected to move up to Formula 2 in 2025 with Campos Racing, impressing Red Bull team principal Christian Horner with his progress. While Lindblad’s plans are clear, Red Bull has not finalized its reserve driver strategy following Liam Lawson’s promotion over the winter, with Hadjar stepping in alongside Yuki Tsunoda at RB. Nikita Johnson, the top American driver, placed third overall in the FR Oceania Championship and is preparing for a full season in the GB3 Championship along with four Indy NXT races for HMD Motorsports.
