Lindblad’s P10 finish ‘more than we could have imagined’

Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad described his 10th-place finish at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia as "more than we could have ever imagined." Starting from P22 at the back of the grid due to engine penalties, the 19-year-old capitalized on an intermediate tire start on a damp track to secure his fourth consecutive points finish.

Lindblad noted that while thrilled for the team and Red Bull, he still needed to address his race-pace struggles during the middle stint. Teammate Liam Lawson finished seventh, extending Racing Bulls' lead over Alpine to 22 points in the fight for fifth in the Teams' Championship.
