Confirmed: Lindblad set for F1 outing next weekend in Mexico!

Top advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed that Arvid Lindblad will be in action during FP1 of the Mexico City Grand Prix next weekend.

Red Bull talent Lindblad is set for his second free practice session of the season at the Mexico City GP next Friday, Marko told GPblog at the Circuit of the Americas.

The Formula 2 driver will then either sit in a Red Bull Racing or a Racing Bulls car at a Formula 1 weekend for the second time in his career. He completed his first outing driving the RB21 earlier this season at Silverstone.

Previously, the Austrian already hinted at Lindblad having a strong chance of getting promoted to F1 next season with Racing Bulls.

The Brit is currently seventh in the Formula 2 standings, having won a single feature race at Barcelona.
