Lindblad hopes FP1 chance is ‘start of a new chapter’

British sensation Arvid Lindblad is poised to make his Formula 1 debut, driving the Red Bull RB21 in Free Practice 1 at Silverstone. At just 17, he joins an elite group as only the second driver under 18 to participate in a Grand Prix weekend, a milestone previously set by Max Verstappen. Lindblad expressed profound gratitude to Red Bull, crediting their extensive support since 2020 for his development, guided by mentors like Dr. Helmut Marko and Guillaume Rocquelin. Eager to share the track with childhood idols like Lewis Hamilton, Lindblad views this pivotal moment as the start of a new chapter, marking a significant stride toward his ambition of becoming an F1 World Champion.
