At Red Bull, we don't want to waste time with the one that some are already calling the "new Max Verstappen " Crowned with the title of champion in FROC (Formula Regional Oceania) and the Super License in his pocket while he is barely going to start his first season of Formula 2, Arvid Lindblad is on cloud nine.

Within the Austrian team, there is no longer any doubt. The Englishman is the next member of the Junior Team on the list to move up Formula 1…provided he performs well, of course. And to achieve this, the new Campos driver in F2 is in the best possible position in any case.

A few days after his title on the other side of the world, Arvid Lindblad entered a new phase of his training since Red Bull started serious things with him. Indeed, the native of Viriginia Water was this week on the side of Imola where he tried a modern Formula 1 for the first time. It was not his first experience in an F1 since he had the opportunity to take the wheel of the 8 RB2012 during an exhibition in Houston last September.

This time, Lindblad, as shown in the pictures on the account italiansupercar_official, was spotted on an AT04, entered by the team Alpha Tauri (now Racing Bulls) in 2023. Regarding his program, he could, according to our information, take part in eight free practice sessions in F1 this year, in order to be best prepared in the event of a start for 2026.

You could respect the names of people in your comments even if you lack intelligence, in short, another ridiculous comment.

Closely watched over by this good Doktor Helmoooooooout who could propel him into F1 if by chance Lawson disappointed in Red Bull, which would allow Tsunhonda to move up (just to thank Honda) and free up a place at Ridiculous Bulls which then found its original vocation as a "nursery"! Foresighted by the Austrian octogenarian to always plan for the next move...
