Arvid Lindblad: Red Bull teenage protege granted F1 super licence at 17 after special exemption granted | F1 News

The British Red Bull Lindblad driver gave F1 Super after the FIA ​​team was granted a special request for 17 -year -old Bhutrag.

Super licenses are mandatory for the race in F1 and not usually granted until the driver is 18, provided that they have also accumulated enough points to qualify to get one by completing jobs in another format over the past three years.

However, in a review of the rule that was presented last year, dispensing can now be given by the ruling body to a 17 -year -old child also if they “have appeared recently, a distinct ability and maturity in a single -seat car competition.”

Lindblad is currently in third place in its first season of Formula 2, the Feeder Series series directly below F1, and won two race. He won the Formula Regional Championship in Oceania at the beginning of the year – which won enough qualifying points for a super license once he reached 18 years old – ranked fourth in his only season from F3 in 2024.

Lindblad is 18 years old on August 8.

It is understood that Red Bull’s request to obtain an exemption was submitted several weeks ago, but the request was not discussed by the World Motor Sports Council in FIA except at its last meeting at Macau on Tuesday, which is the first to sit for the body since late February.

“FIA has received a request for a super license to Arvid Lindblad before his eighteenth birthday,” Read FIA’s statement.

“After considering the information provided to support this request, the World Council found that the driver had recently shown, and maturity and maturity in the one -seat formula competition and thus approved the request.”

Will Lindblad be distinguished in the F1 session this year?

Granting a great license to the Lindbad, who was born in Sari and has a Swedish father and a mother of Indian heritage, means that the 17 -year -old will be free to show F1 sessions, Red Ball, who owns two teams, is keen to try.

All F1 teams are required to operate without experienced drivers in two sessions in each car in each car during the season. Red Bull Ayumu Iwasa ran in Japan in P1 in the Grand Prix in Bahrain in April.

While Red Bull request was submitted to obtain an early license for Lindblad some time, which means that two cases are not connected, approval was granted a while before two race when the big star driver in their team Max Versaben was transferred to another ban.

Verstapn must move in the next two race – Canadian Canadian Award race this weekend and Austrian GP on June 29 – without collecting any other penalty points to avoid having to sit in a race. Two points of his license ends on June 30, giving him a space for breathing.

If the older Red Bull is to find a single -time alternative for Verstapen, one of the drivers who compete for the brother Racing Bulls or Liam Lawson – will be almost called to fill.

Such a scenario, though, will in turn create one time vacancies in the novice costume to fill.

IWASA, 23, is the most experienced Red Bull option, and has been paid in Friday’s training sessions for both teams, while Lindblad will also be an official alternative as well.
