🇬🇧 Arvid Lindblad

Arvid Lindblad is an elite professional single-seater driver racing in Formula 1 for RB F1 Team, holding an FIA Platinum grade. He has raced across the junior categories since 2022, progressing through Italian Formula 4, Formula 3 and Formula 2 before stepping up to the world championship in 2026.[1]

Lindblad won six races and finished third in the Italian F4 championship in his debut season, 2023, driving for Prema Racing. He moved to Formula 3 in 2024 with the same team, taking four wins across 20 starts, then stepped up to Formula 2 in 2025, where he scored three wins and five podiums from 27 rounds with Campos Racing. His progression tracks a driver consistently competing among the frontrunners in each category; across his junior career, he accumulated 13 wins from 89 starts. He joined Formula 1 in 2026 and is currently competing in the championship with 15 starts to date.[2]

Lindblad has regularly faced elite-level opposition throughout his junior career. He has been closely matched with Alex Dunne, a 2022 British F4 champion and Formula 2 race winner, and ran directly against Leonardo Fornaroli, who won both the 2024 Formula 3 championship and the 2025 Formula 2 title; Lindblad typically finished behind Fornaroli in their shared campaigns. In Formula 1, he has beaten both George Russell and Max Verstappen once apiece, though Russell and Verstappen are generational drivers with multiple world championships between them.
