Arvid Lindblad Secures FIA Super License—Red Bull’s Next F1 Reserve in the Making?

Red Bull’s junior pipeline just got stronger.

17-year-old Arvid Lindblad is now firmly in contention to become a Red Bull and RB (formerly AlphaTauri) reserve driver, having secured his FIA Super License after winning the Formula Regional Oceania Championship in dominant fashion.

The British-Swedish prodigy wrapped up the title with two races to spare, confirming his rapid rise through the junior ranks and cementing himself as a key part of Red Bull’s next generation of talent.

“What an incredible ride,” Lindblad said after claiming his first major single-seater title. “Proud to be crowned FR Oceania Champion. A huge shout-out to my team and everyone who’s been part of this journey. What an amazing few weeks in New Zealand – such a stunning place.”

From F3 to F2—Lindblad’s Rapid Rise

Lindblad’s meteoric rise is nothing short of remarkable:

  • Finished fourth in his rookie Formula 3 season in 2024, securing four wins.
  • Third in the 2023 Italian Formula 4 Championship.
  • Claimed his first major single-seater title in New Zealand to secure the Super License points needed for F1 eligibility.

The young Red Bull protégé is now set to take the next step in 2025, moving up to Formula 2 with Campos Racing—the same team that ran RB rookie Isack Hadjar last season.

Could Lindblad Be Red Bull’s Next Reserve Driver?

With Liam Lawson promoted to replace Sergio Perez over the winter and Hadjar stepping into Lawson’s seat at RB, Red Bull has yet to confirm who will fill their crucial reserve driver role for the upcoming 2025 F1 season.

With his Super License secured and rapid progression through the Red Bull junior ranks, Lindblad is now firmly in the mix to take up a reserve position.

Despite not turning 18 until August, recent FIA rule changes allow exceptional 17-year-old talents to be eligible for an F1 race seat—paving the way for Lindblad to step in if needed.

American Talent on the Rise—Nikita Johnson Impresses

While Lindblad took the FR Oceania title, another rising star emerged—Nikita Johnson, who finished third overall with one victory and five podiums from 15 races.

The 16-year-old American will now focus on:

  • A full-time season in the GB3 Championship in 2025.
  • Four Indy NXT races with HMD Motorsports, positioning himself as one of America’s top young prospects in open-wheel racing.

The Verdict: Red Bull’s Next Big Thing?

With Lindblad now Super License-ready and stepping into F2 next season, Red Bull has another future F1 star in the making.

While his 2025 season will be focused on Formula 2, don’t be surprised if his name appears on the F1 reserve driver list sooner rather than later—especially if Red Bull continues its trend of fast-tracking young talent into the sport.

The next generation of Red Bull’s F1 dominance might already be in the making.
