Arvid Lindblad, the only new driver on the 2026 racing grid, said that "Formula 1" is in a different situation from other newcomers in recent years.
According to Idman.Biz, Lindblad said that he doesn't think about comparing himself with his teammate.
"I haven't thought about it; I don't think about my teammate. He is the one who they compare you to. Realistically, when it comes to preparation, I'm in a slightly different situation than the other kids who have been through this.
Yes, I'm ready, but three years ago I was still karting. I finished one year in each series, so everything happened very quickly in that regard. There will be a lot of new things to reach the top, a lot of things I have to learn. The only thing I think about is getting myself to the maximum level, putting myself in the best possible situation, and then we'll see what happens.
There will be so many unknowns next year that it makes no sense to say, "I want to be better than so-and-so." I'm just focusing on myself, working hard and doing my best at the beginning of the year," RacingNews365 quoted Lindblad.
