British teenager Arvid Lindblad has described his introduction as a Formula One driver as a "surreal moment" after the Racing Bulls team unveiled their livery for the 2026 season.
Lindblad, who will be racing alongside Liam Lawson, hailed the event in Detroit where he was officially introduced to the public. The 18-year-old British driver said that being part of an F1 team like this is something he's always dreamed about and that he feels honored to be a part of the team.
Racing Bulls' engine for next year will be supplied by Red Bull Powertrains, which has partnered with Ford on its first power unit production. The new regulations in 2026 mean that teams have an opportunity to develop a fresh start as they work alongside their new suppliers.
For Racing Bulls, this represents a strong chance of success. Team principal Alan Permane stated the team is in a "strong position" at the start of the season due to Red Bull's expertise and innovative approach, which he believes will give them an edge over other teams.

He's literally living his dream and I'm sure it feels amazing to have that kind of support behind him, especially with Red Bull Powertrains on board - they're like the ultimate team in F1 
. The fact that Racing Bulls is getting a fresh start too must be super exciting for them, new engine, new regulations... it's all about innovation and progress 
! And Alan Permane seems pretty confident about their chances, who can blame him? 
I mean, I'm hyped for him, but it's wild how fast these young drivers are taking off! Lindblad seems like a super cool dude too, humble and all that. The new regulations and Red Bull's expertise better give Racing Bulls a legit shot at taking down the big teams this season. Did you catch that event in Detroit? I bet it was lit 
he must be literally stoked to be living his dream at such a young age! 
and racing bulls getting red bull powertrains on board? that's like having the ultimate team behind them! 
- I'm sending all my positive vibes for this 18-year-old driver & his incredible journey ahead of him 
Arvid Lindblad seems like a pretty cool guy, been a fan of racing bulls since I saw their old liveries back in the day 
what are your thoughts on racing bulls making a comeback?
he's literally 18 yrs old and already driving in formula one it's like a dream come true for him i mean who wouldn't wanna be part of such a big team like that? 
. And can we talk about Alan Permane's confidence in the team? 
I mean, it's so sick! The kid Arvid Lindblad is going to be racing alongside Liam Lawson? That's insane! I've been following F1 for ages and I still can't believe they're introducing new engines next year 
He's got a bright future ahead of him and I'm loving the Racing Bulls' new livery - it's so fresh and edgy! 
The fact that they're going with Red Bull Powertrains is a huge boost too, they know their stuff. But what I find kinda interesting is how this season will be all about rebuilding and finding that fresh start. It'll be cool to see the teams adapt to these new regulations and who knows, maybe Racing Bulls will surprise everyone! 
and he's right, with Red Bull on board, Racing Bulls are gonna smash it!!! can't wait 2 c what the future holds for this young driver & this team!!! 
racing bulls just unveiled their new livery and it's GORGEOUS!!!! arvid lindblad is going to be my fave driver now lol he seems so chill but still super talented
