Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko said this week that junior driver Arvid Lindblad would not be a "new Max Verstappen" but could be a "new world champion". The Austrian team runs one of the most successful junior programs in the world of motorsport and has produced several world champions and talented drivers.
While speaking on the "Inside Line F1" podcast, the Austrian named Lindblad as the next exciting prospect from the junior stable but did not class him in the same category as Verstappen, saying:
"We are not looking for a new Max, we are looking for a new champion and I think the next one which looks really promising is Arvid Lindblad, whose father is Swedish and the mother is Indian" (8:00).
