Seventeen-year-old Arvid will be the latest Red Bull Junior to compete in the New Zealand championship, a roster than includes names like Liam Lawson, Yuki Tsunoda and Dannil Kvyatt.
Lindblad has been competitive and a winner in almost every motorsport championship he has competed in. He was a multiple international karting champion and a winner in Italian F4, F4 UAE, Euro 4, and Formula Regional Middle East, He also won the Macau GP in 2023.
In 2024 he finished fourth overall in the FIA F3 Championship with four wins – one in Bahrain, one in Spain and two at Silverstone at the British Grand Prix round.
For 2025 he’ll be stepping up again to a full season of FIA Formula 2 with Campos Racing and he says the trip to New Zealand and a competitive FR Oceania championship will be the best preparation for the step up to F2.
“I’m really excited to be competing in the FR Oceania championship with M2 Competition. The team has been incredibly successful in the past winning many of the recent championships so there is no one better to be with.
“It’ll be my first time in New Zealand so all the tracks will be new but I am really looking forward to the challenge of these fantastic circuits. The championship has been very successful with many competitors making it to Formula 1; therefore it’ll be great winter preparation for the Formula 2 Championship this year. I can’t wait to get started."
