A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Max Verstappen treads on thin ice after accruing 3 penalty points on his license at the Spanish Grand Prix, should he get one more in Canada or Austria he'll receive a race ban, something Red Bull is already prepared for.
According to De Telegraaf, Red Bull Racing will pick one of its sister team's drivers, be that rookie sensation Isack Hadjar, or the demoted Liam Lawson, with the open Racing Bulls seat being taken over by Ayumu Iwasa.
Arvid Lindblad won't make F1 debut yet
Despite having won two races already in his maiden F2 season and sitting in third place in the standings, prompting Red Bull to ask the FIA to provide the British talent for a dispensation to disregard Linblad's underage status (he's currently 17 years old), it appears as though he's not currently being considered for a step up to F1 this season.
Arvid Lindblad won the F2-feature race in Barcelona.

For Verstappen then, it's all about playing it safe this weekend at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, as he's still within reach of championship leader Oscar Piastri 49 points off the Australian.
However, a race ban could ultimately derail his 2025 championship hopes, making the upcoming two races of incredible importance to his championship bid. His first penalty points will have expired by the British Grand Prix weekend at Silverstone.
