Lindblad will hold his first training session at Silverstone.

      On Friday, 17-year-old Red Bull youth program participant Arvid Lindblad, who was specifically granted a super license, will make his official F1 session debut.

      The British driver, whose father is Swedish and mother is Indian, will take the wheel of Yuki Tsunoda's car during the first practice session at the British Grand Prix.

      Arvid Lindblad: “I’m excited to take part in the first practice. Sitting behind the wheel of a competitive Red Bull car after nearly five years in the youth program is a special milestone for me and a fantastic opportunity to take the next step – I’ve dreamed about this for a long time and I’m grateful to everyone at Red Bull Racing.

      Debuting in F1 as a British driver on a British track, in front of the British audience, is incredible.

      My goal is to quickly get comfortable in the car, gather useful data for Yuki that will help him during the weekend, and try to drive fast! I’m looking forward to hitting the track.”
