Could Christian Horner Make a Surprise Move at Red Bull? Insights from Johnny Herbert
According to former FIA steward Johnny Herbert, Christian Horner may be considering an unexpected promotion within the Red Bull Racing team. Herbert suggests that Arvid Lindblad could be in line for a coveted position if he secures the Formula Two championship this season.
Herbert praised Isack Hadjar for his impressive performance so far, stating, “Hadjar has shown remarkable consistency on the track. While no driver has had a flawless weekend this season, he has consistently delivered strong results.” He emphasized that Hadjar’s steady performances have made him a key contender, prompting teams to take notice.
Herbert reminisced about his own journey as a promising rookie, noting, “I was once in a similar position before my accident, and then there was Jean Alesi.” He continued, “Even if Hadjar is performing well in the Red Bull seat, if Arvid Lindblad clinches the F2 championship, it’s likely that Red Bull will want the champion in their second seat, especially given Lindblad’s rapid development.”
The current situation presents a challenge for Red Bull, as Herbert pointed out, “Hadjar is making the decision difficult for the team, even if he doesn’t win the F2 title. With the potential departure of Max Verstappen rumored, Red Bull could find itself with two exceptional young talents ready to step up.”
In conclusion, all eyes will be on the Formula Two championship as both Hadjar and Lindblad vie for a chance to impress Red Bull Racing. The future looks bright for these young drivers, and their performances could very well shape the next chapter for the team.
