Miami Setback Extends Arvid Lindblad’s Rookie F1 Learning Curve

Repeated technical faults have left the Racing Bulls rookie short on the mileage he needs to learn.

Overview

  • At the Miami round, Arvid Lindblad missed the Sprint for the second time this season and then finished 14th, leaving him short on race laps.
  • After scoring eighth on debut in Australia, he has not added points and has trailed team‑mate Liam Lawson in races both drivers finished.
  • Lindblad said a lack of preparation hurt his pace, as he struggled on the medium tyre before feeling stronger on the hard compound.
  • He said he learned a massive amount in the first 20 laps and felt that starting from that point would have changed his race.
  • He remains upbeat and targets clean running in Canada, noting that Sprint weekends limit practice and make every lost session harder for rookies.
