Yuki Tsunoda’s tenure at Red Bull Racing could be the perfect opportunity for Red Bull Racing to put Arvid Lindblad in the car, thinks former F1 driver, Juan Pablo Montoya. There’s a caveat, though, that could make the situation backfire on the Austrian team, and the Japanese driver holds the key.
For Arvid Lindblad, the road to Formula 1 is completely open. The Red Bull Junior Team’s greatest talent has enough points, in theory, to attain a Super Licence after his title win in a New Zealand-based championship. Only thing left to prove now is that the young Briton (17) does indeed deserve a seat at Racing Bulls or perhaps even Red Bull Racing.
Arvid Lindblad will be the star of Formula 2 next season. If the British talent makes his debut in Formula 1 in exactly one year’s time, it should come as no surprise, that is how much confidence Red Bull Racing has in their pupil. Lindblad himself does not hide his ambitions: “I want to become world champion.”
Arvid Lindblad is gearing up for a pivotal year in his racing career as he prepares to make his Formula 2 debut in 2025. The Red Bull Racing junior is widely regarded as a rising star, and many expect him to make the leap to Formula 1 soon. While he remains focused on his F2 campaign, speculation continues to grow about when he might get his first taste of F1 machinery.
On Thursday, British supertalent Arvid Lindblad will completed his first TPC (testing of previous car) event at the Imola circuit with Racing Bulls. The youngster drove the AT04, the car used by the team when they were named AlphaTauri back in 2023.
Red Bull’s young star Arvid Lindblad has admitted that he has always idolised seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton. Although part of the Red Bull academy, the 17-year-old admits that he has always looked up to Hamilton throughout his motorsport journey, pointing out the fact that he could identify with his fellow Brit as a person of colour.
Arvid Lindblad, one of Red Bull Racing’s brightest young talents, has spent plenty of time with Helmut Marko as part of the Red Bull Junior Team. The 17-year-old admits he initially found the Austrian F1 team’s senior advisor a bit intimidating but now feels at ease under Marko’s guidance.
The start of winter testing is less than three weeks away, and with the impending livery reveal event in the O2 Arena in London, “F1 75”, the world of F1 is grinding its gears, slowly but surely, to the new F1 season set to start in little oveer a month. As usual, GPBlog brings you the best news of the day.
Arvid Lindblad is the rising talent within Red Bull Racing. The 17-year-old Briton does not yet have a driving licence, but managed to get enough points for his Formula 1 super licence in New Zealand last weekend. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko even called him the biggest talent within the Austrian’s junior team. Speaking to The Inside Line, Lindblad talked about his relationship with Marko and whether that brings extra pressure.
With his Super Licence secured, Arvid Lindblad is likely to have a very busy year ahead. Besides a full season in Formula 2, the Brit is also expected to have a full schedule of Formula 1 action. In fact, Lindblad may be in action in as many as six Grand Prix weekends.
