Racing Bulls has shared a video revealing the details of Arvid Lindblad’s first Formula 1 weekend at home, held at the Silverstone circuit. With the championship at its midpoint, Lindblad currently occupies 11th place in the standings.
In his debut year in F1, Lindblad has shown great adaptability. He has scored points in several races, with an eighth-place finish as his best result at the Australian Grand Prix. On the other hand, his performances in Monaco and the British Grand Prix, where he finished in seventh place, have been notable.
The weekend in Silverstone was emotional for the 18-year-old British hopeful. The video shows the additional responsibilities he faced in the week leading up to the race, including multiple interviews and radio appearances. At one point, during a conversation with the Capital FM team, Lindblad humorously shared his need to get his driving license, a topic that has come up several times in recent weeks.
The young driver explained, ‘I have to do it, because it has been talked about too much. At first, I didn’t need it, but now I realize that I really want it so I don’t have to depend on Ubers or my mom to get to the airport.’
After a visit to London, Lindblad reflected on his first appearance on a radio show: ‘It was great, as I used to listen to these channels with my mom when I was little. Now being there myself is a big step.’
On media day, the driver collaborated with Lawson to create content for social media and participated in an event at the Fan Zone along with other British drivers. The video also features fun moments, such as the LEGO car race, activities inside the garage during the race, and post-race celebrations.
Formula 1 will resume its activities with the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, scheduled for August 21 to 23.
