Arvid Lindblad, the Racing Bulls newcomer to Formula 1, took a turn on World Rally Championship machinery during the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After handling an M‑Sport‑Ford Puma Rally1, the young driver called the experience “amazing” and hinted that rallying could become a focus once his F1 commitments end.
The demonstration took place on a tight, twisty 1.9‑mile forest gravel stage built for the event. The course, laid out by the late 1983 world rally champion Hannu Mikkola, challenged Lindblad with rapid changes in surface and direction, giving him a direct feel for the high‑down‑force, all‑wheel‑drive Rally1 car.
Lindblad’s comments suggest a genuine interest in pursuing rallying after his time in Formula 1, a path not often taken by current F1 drivers. Observers will now watch his progress in the single‑seater series while keeping an eye on potential future entries in rally events, should he decide to make the switch.
