British Red Bull junior Arvid Lindblad got his first ♛taste of a modern F1 car as he gea♓rs up for a potential debut in 2026.

Lindblad is Red Bull’s n🔯ext big talent in their driver academy, with the 17-year-old set to embark on a season in Formula 2 with Campos this year.

As part of his preparations to potentially move into F1 next year, Lindblad tested ꦿwith Racing Bulls at Imol♑a, marking his first official outing.

According to Motorsport.It, Lindblad was behind the AT༒04 - AlphaTauri’s 2023 car - during a TPC test earlier this week.

The Surrey-born driver ran alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Isack Hadjar, who were testing VCARB’s 2025 car ahead o🌄f next week’s pre-season tesꦬt at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Lindblad has had a busy winter, w🐬inning the Formula Regional Championship in New Zeala💖nd.

This title ensured he has the necessary poin𒆙ts to obtain a super licence.

As a result, Lindblad is expected to drive an F1 car during a free practice sessi🀅on later this year.

It’s not the first time Lindblad has tasted F1 machinery, though, conducting a show run in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel’s world championship-winning 2012 Red Bull.

The Imola test was his first time in a contemporary F1 car, thus giving him the chance to push the limits, making it important step for him in his journey to becoming🅺 an F1 driver.

Will Red Bull hand Arvid Lindblad a chance in 2026?

Lindblad will fancy his cha💧nces of making it onto the F1 grid in 2026.

His F2 campaig�♏�n results will likely not be the main factor in him getting a chance in F1.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Kimi Antonelli and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ollie Bearman finished outside of the top five in the 2024 F2 standings - but crucially impressed during their various F1 tes⭕ts or outings.

With Red Bull similarly preparing Lindblad, impr🐭essing during his F🦩1 sessions will be crucial.

Racing Bulls’ driver situation could allow Lindblad to join the gꩲriꩲd.

Tsunoda is in his fifth seas🍃on with the Faenza-based outfit, so Red Bull might feel they no longer need him, given he’s n♛ot an option for the main team.

Had💙jar’s performance will determine whether he gets a secon🍬d season.

If he lags well behind Tsunoda,𒈔 Red Bull 𝔉might want to put Lindblad in the car alongside the Japanese driver.

Tsunoda is a gooওd reference and oꦕne they can judge Lindblad against.
