In a move that underlines the resolve of the Red Bull Junior Team to fast-track youth, Arvid Lindblad has been confirmed as a full-time driver for Racing Bulls in the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship season. The 18-year-old British-Swedish racer advances directly from a single season in FIA Formula 2 (F2) Championship. The announcement was formally made on 2 December 2025.
This promotion is especially remarkable given his short time in F2; underscoring the confidence Red Bull have in his raw talent and readiness for the pinnacle of motor sport.
