Arvid Lindblad has spun during the demo day conducted by Racing Bulls in damp conditions.

As GPblog previously reported, Red Bull Racing will not conduct a shakedown ahead of the Barcelona test days, so the Red Bull Ford power unit was in use for the first time at the Imola circuit during the demo day of Racing Bulls.

It was Liam Lawson's turn first in the VCARB03. The New Zealander completed his three laps of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari with no issues.

It was then Lindblad's turn. On the wet track, the youngster spun at Variante Villeneuve. The driver is ok and the car is undamaged.

The VCARB03 was transported back to the garage on the back of a flat-bed truck.
