Lindblad Touts Rowland’s Formula E Know-How as ‘Little Superpower’ for 2026 F1 Debut

The 2026 power‑unit shift puts a premium on battery mastery from Formula E.

Overview

  • The 18-year-old will race for Red Bull’s Racing Bulls alongside Liam Lawson as the only rookie on the 2026 grid.
  • Lindblad says he will draw on manager Oliver Rowland’s expertise to sharpen battery and power‑unit management.
  • Rowland, the reigning Formula E champion, has supported and mentored Lindblad throughout his rise.
  • Reworked 2026 rules increase the electrical share of output and drop the MGU‑H, making smart energy deployment and recharging critical.
  • Lindblad’s promotion followed two impressive FP1 outings in 2025 that strengthened his case with Red Bull decision‑makers.
