Arvid Lindblad, 17, gets F1 exemption after Red Bull request - ESPN
Although the application for Lindblad's superlicence was submitted before Verstappen received three penalty points at the last round in Spain, he would present an alternative to current reserve Ayuma Iwasa, who is currently racing in Japan's Super Formula.
Lindblad is seen as a rising star in Red Bull's junior programme and will be a prime candidate for a driver with Racing Bulls in 2026.
Red Bull currently has four drivers under contract in F1, with Verstappen partnered by Yuki Tsunoda at the senior team and Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson driving for the junior team.
