Red Bull requested a super license for Lindblad in February.

      Last week, the FIA made an exception and approved Red Bull Racing's request to grant a super license to Arvid Linblad, although the driver is not yet 18 years old. It is assumed that in the event of a possible disqualification of Max Verstappen, Arvid will replace reserve driver Ayuma Iwasa, who in turn will take the wheel of Racing Bulls instead of one of the main drivers of the Faenza team, who in this scenario will have to replace the current world champion.

      As it turned out, Red Bull Racing had taken into account the possible disqualification of its leader in advance, so they requested a super license for Lindblad before the start of the season.

      "I am very grateful and proud that I was granted a super license, giving me the opportunity to drive in official Formula 1 sessions," said Arvid Lindblad. – But I do not know if it will happen or not. It's better to talk to Red Bull about this, but I'm very happy just because I have this opportunity.

      The request for a super license was sent in February. The fact that I got it when Max was in danger of getting too many penalty points is more of a coincidence. I do not know what the team's plan is if something like this happens."
