Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad enjoys a remarkable F1 debut, finishing eighth and clinching points at Albert Park.
Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad savoured a memorable Formula One debut on Sunday as the teen talent battled Max Verstappen and claimed championship points for the Red Bull feeder team.
The youngest-ever British F1 racer, 18-year-old Lindblad started ninth on the grid at Albert Park and finished eighth in a race won by Mercedes’ George Russell, leaving his 13th-placed Racing Bulls teammate Liam Lawson in the shade.
Having barely put a foot wrong through the whole weekend, Lindblad said he was living the dream.
“I’m pretty speechless to be honest, it was a pretty nuts race,” he told Sky.
Coming into the weekend, points were not on the expectations. “I had hopes after yesterday but I’m extremely happy. I’m extremely grateful to everyone from the team .... for giving me the package to fight,” he said.
“But to be honest, saying points on debut doesn’t really summarise the race. (The) Big P3 at one point in lap one was a lot more than I expected. I think I showed people a bit of what I am here to do,” Lindblad said.
