– Although Arvid Lindblad was able to score two world championship points for the Racing Bulls at the Belgian Grand Prix, there is still no sign of star attitudes from the only rookie of the 2026 season. After all, the Red Bull junior flew home with his teammate Liam Lawson on a budget airline.

The more experienced of the two Racing Bulls drivers shared this small detail via Instagram. “Shoutout to easyJet,” was his comment on the travel habits of the team from Faenza. Lawson did not score any world championship points in Spa-Francorchamps with a twelfth place.
On social media, numerous fans expressed more than enthusiasm for the modesty of the two drivers. One comment reads: “I love everything about it: They fly together with a cheaper airline. The longer the season goes on, the more I love this team.”
Other fans praised the fact that Lindblad and Lawson forego a private jet despite their position. In the jet-set world of Grand Prix racing, the use of private aircraft has been and remains anything but unusual.
Other fans joked that the Racing Bulls probably have to watch their budget so as not to exceed the prescribed budget cap. It should be noted that travel expenses, as well as driver salaries or marketing costs, are exempt from this cap.

In the constructors’ world championship, the Racing Bulls are in sixth place, level on points with Alpine. However, the team from Enstone is ranked fifth in the standings, as they managed a surprising podium with Pierre Gasly in Monaco. Both teams are currently undisputedly considered the best constructors in the midfield.
Before the race in Belgium, Lindblad and Lawson had managed to score points at every Grand Prix since Monaco. However, in Spa-Francorchamps, both Racing Bulls did not start with the same equipment.
The new upgrade package of the team was finally only available to Lindblad. For the Hungarian Grand Prix, both cars will be equipped with the package. In the drivers’ world championship, Lawson is in tenth place with 39 points, 17 points ahead of teammate Lindblad in eleventh place.
