Arvid Lindblad to take part in Free Practice 1 of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Red Bull

Red Bull has confirmed that Arvid Lindblad will take part in Free Practice 1 for the team at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend.

The Campos Racing driver will replace Yuki Tsunoda and partner four-time World Champion Max Verstappen for the opening Practice session.

Lindblad was confirmed earlier this week to be stepping up to Formula 1 next season with Racing Bulls, where he will partner Liam Lawson.

The Briton is currently sixth in the FIA Formula 2 Drivers’ Championship heading into the final round of the year at Yas Marina, with two wins and a pole position to his name.
