The advisor for the Formula 1 team Red Bull, **Helmut Marko**, has shared his thoughts on the performance of 17-year-old junior driver **Arvid Lindblad** during the first practice session at the Silverstone Grand Prix.

“He did well. For his first outing, he already displayed a professional demeanor. His feedback was quite impressive, and his race pace along with the time difference compared to Max was also satisfactory. A true talent for the future,” Marko stated, according to GPblog.

Arvid stepped in for Yuki Tsunoda in the first practice and achieved a 14th place finish with a time of 1:27.958.

For the 2025 season, Lindblad is competing in Formula 2 with the Campos team, currently ranking sixth in the individual standings after seven races.
