FIA Grants Red Bull Prodigy Arvid Lindblad Super License Exemption Before Turning 18 Years of Age
- In June 2025, the FIA approved a super license exemption for 17-year-old Arvid Lindblad, a driver affiliated with Red Bull, permitting him to compete in Formula 1 prior to reaching the usual minimum age of 18.
- This exemption follows Red Bull's request based on Lindblad's proven outstanding ability and maturity, despite the minimum age being 18 under FIA rules.
- Lindblad secured wins in Formula Regional Oceania 2025, placed third in the F2 championship, and recently claimed his first F2 feature race victory in Barcelona.
- The FIA World Motor Sport Council approved the request after recognizing that the driver has shown exceptional skill and composure over a sustained period in junior single-seater racing categories.
- This approval allows Lindblad to serve as a reserve driver for both Red Bull’s F1 team and their sister squad in Italy earlier than initially planned, potentially speeding up his progression toward competing in Formula 1 by 2026.
