After the Belgian Grand Prix, Racing Bulls drivers, Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, opted for a more modest trip on an easyJet flight. This decision surprised fans, as Formula 1 is often associated with luxury travel and private jets.
Lawson shared a selfie with Lindblad on his Instagram story, with the message “Shoutout easyJet”, which generated a lot of buzz on social media. Fans’ comments reflected their surprise and excitement: “What are the odds of finding two F1 drivers on a commercial flight?”, commented one user on Reddit.
Other users expressed their support for this choice, highlighting the simplicity of the gesture. “I love all of this: that they fly together and choose a more affordable airline. As the season progresses, I like these guys more and more,” said a fan.
Although the image was fun, some joked about budget constraints: “VCARB could be close to a breach of the cost limit,” said another comment. Fans emphasized that it is admirable for the drivers to choose more sustainable travel.
Regarding their performance on the circuit, Lawson and Lindblad finished the race in ninth and twelfth place, respectively. Lindblad acknowledged that every time he gets in the car, he feels more comfortable and competitive, which shows the good chemistry with his team.
“I am really enjoying the moment. The team is doing an excellent job ensuring good car performance and that shows on track,” Lindblad explained after scoring two points for his team.
