Lindblad takes hard-fought lights-to-flag win in Abu Dhabi

Arvid Lindblad, fresh from confirming his F1 promotion for 2026, secured a dominant victory in the F2 Sprint Race in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. The Campos Racing driver led from start to finish, fending off a late-race challenge from AIX Racing's Joshua Duerksen, who clinched his fifth podium in four rounds by finishing second. Lindblad's third win of the season was complemented by a strong performance from his teammate Nikola Tsolov, who secured his maiden F2 podium in third, making it a 1-3 for Campos. Other impressive drives included Dino Beganovic's charge to fourth and Jak Crawford climbing to sixth. Roman Stanek will start Sunday's Feature Race from pole.
