‘I'm used to being thrown in the deep end’ – Lindblad

British talent Arvid Lindblad is set to make his Formula 1 debut in 2026 with Racing Bulls, becoming the season's sole rookie alongside Liam Lawson. The 18-year-old’s rapid ascent through junior categories, including becoming the youngest F3 and F2 race winner, caught Red Bull’s attention early. Lindblad’s exceptional adaptability and feedback quality prompted Red Bull to secure him a Super Licence ahead of his 18th birthday. Impressive FP1 outings, particularly in Mexico, sealed his promotion. Acknowledging the significant challenge of F1's new regulations, Lindblad is already embedding himself with Racing Bulls, focusing on intense preparation for what he expects to be the biggest step in his promising career.
