Red Bull Junior driver set for maiden F3 run
Arvid Lindblad will compete with PREMA Racing in the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship, the team is happy to announce.
The British-born 16-year-old racer had an outstanding debut campaign in Formula 4 after making a part-time debut last year. Throughout 2023, he amassed eight wins, taking part in the F4 UAE, Italian Formula 4 and Euro 4 Championships and contending for titles. A Red Bull Junior driver, Lindblad came from a remarkable karting career, which included titles in the WSK Euro Series and Master Series.
Lindblad already started preparations for the challenging F3 debut ahead, entering the three rounds of postseason testing at Jerez, Barcelona and Imola. He will soon be back on-track for his final Formula 4 appearance at the legendary Macau Grand Prix.

“We were deeply impressed by Arvid this year, and we think he has the potential to succeed at the Formula 3 level as well. We will work as hard as possible to ease his transition to such a challenging environment and allow him to be up to pace as soon as possible. Our F3 driver line-up for 2024 is now complete, and I could not be happier with the team we put together.”
Arvid Lindblad
"Super excited to be continuing with PREMA for 2024 in FIA Formula 3. We had a great year in Formula 4 together, leading and competing for both championships for the whole season. PREMA has been very strong in F3 this year, and that's why I’m really excited and honoured to have the opportunity to continue and move up the ranks with them. We had positive post season tests together with good progression and steps made, and I can’t wait for the season to get started."
