It proved to be an ignominious start to Arvid Lindblad’s F1 career on the day Racing Bulls aired its new VCARB03.
Arvid Lindblad’s F1 debut with Racing Bulls’ new VCARB03 at Imola began with a spin into a gravel trap, marking a challenging start to his career.
Liam Lawson had the honor of conducting the first shakedown lap of Red Bulls Powertrain machinery in damp conditions at the nearby Faenza circuit.
During a demo day limited to 15km, Lawson completed three laps with no apparent issues before Lindblad took the wheel.
Unfortunately, Lindblad’s run was cut short by a spin at the Variante Villenueve in wet conditions, necessitating retrieval of the VCARB03 on a flat-bed truck.
Both drivers are set to return to Imola for a 200km filming day shakedown, with the cause of Lindblad’s spin still unclear.
