Important news for Red Bull, who can deploy the British pilot in the event of the Aldese stop
Early gift for Arvid Lindblad who obtained the super -calendar to drive in F1 before his eighteenth birthday, on August 8th. The FIA has in fact accepted Red Bull’s request for the release of the British super -syne, currently in F2, for exceptional reasons. The Milton Keynes team exploited a clause introduced last year in the international sports code that authorizes the federation to grant superlytivity to a pilot with a deserving path, after in 2015 the entry into F1 to the minor pilots following the debut of Verstappen at 17 years had been prohibited. “After examining the information submitted to support the request, the World Council has found that the pilot has recently and constantly demonstrated an extraordinary skill and maturity in the formula single -seater championships, accepting the request”: this is the press release of the FIA.
Jolly for Red Bull

The derogation granted by the FIA happens at the right time for Red Bull. In the last Spanish GP Max Verstappen was penalized with three points on the super -syndication following a maneuver on Russell and is therefore only one point from the disqualification for a race if he will remedy it in Canada or Austria. The need for a replacement would make one of the two Racing Bulls drivers on the Dutch Rb21 climbed, freeing a place in the Faenza team. This scenario would also allow Red Bull to overlook the obligation by the teams to deploy a rookie in two FP1 instead of each holder pilot: currently, considering both Red Bull and Racing Bulls, three out of eight compulsory sessions were played.
