Within the round-up: Following the newest shake-up on the high of Purple Bull’s Method 1 programme, the group’s motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has recognized its subsequent possible star.
In short
Marko names Lindblad as future star
Arvid Lindblad, who completed fourth in Method 3 this 12 months on the age of 17, seems to be like a powerful candidate for the longer term, mentioned Marko. “We’re not searching for a brand new Max [Verstappen], we’re searching for a brand new champion. And I feel the subsequent one which seems to be actually promising is Arvid Lindblad.”
Though Lindblad hasn’t received a championship since graduating from karts, Marko mentioned “what’s making him excellent is his pure pace.”
“In one of many Method 3 races he overtook in a single lap, I don’t know, 10 or 14 different drivers,” he defined. “He received the race from being final in these difficult situations: moist, dry and so forth.”
“He will likely be subsequent 12 months in Method 2,” Marko added. “He’s doing an excellent preparation. The take a look at was okay, we’re doing a particular programme for him, sending him to New Zealand on this [Formula Regional] championship and the purpose is to win it so he will get the mandatory factors for his superlicence.”
