Arvid Lindblad Salary 2026 as a Racing Bulls Rookie
Arvid Lindblad earns a base salary of $500k-1m in his rookie season with Racing Bulls. It’s the same band Isack Hadjar was paid as a Racing Bulls rookie in 2025, and Lindblad shares the lowest salary on the 2026 grid with Franco Colapinto.
This is his first F1 contract, so the curve starts here. Hadjar’s jump to about $7.5m after one season shows how quickly that number can change once Red Bull decides a young driver is worth promoting.

Arvid Lindblad Contract With Racing Bulls
Red Bull confirmed Lindblad’s Racing Bulls seat on December 2, 2025, in the same announcement that promoted Isack Hadjar and moved Yuki Tsunoda into a reserve role. His deal covers one season, 2026, and is worth $500k-1m in base salary.
Nothing has been announced for 2027. Reports expect Red Bull to keep him at Racing Bulls, and his points tally backs that up, but until the team confirms it he remains a rookie on a one-year commitment. Teammate Liam Lawson’s deal also runs out at the end of this season.
Lindblad’s F1 earnings record is one season long, and it begins with a rookie contract at Racing Bulls. The stint below covers what 2026 pays him and what he has given the team in return. Those earnings sit behind his estimated $350k net worth.

Why Racing Bulls Picked Lindblad
Racing Bulls handed its 2026 seat to the youngest driver on the grid, and a rookie wage made that an easy bet to place.
Red Bull’s own junior. Red Bull signed him to its junior program in 2021, when he was 13.
Youngest in F1. He turned 19 on August 8, 2026 and is the youngest driver racing in Formula 1 this season.
Points straight away. His 38 points have him 11th in the standings, ahead of Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, and Alex Albon, who each earn at least $12m.
Priced like a rookie. His $500k-1m base is the joint-lowest on the grid, a band he shares only with Franco Colapinto.
Lindblad and Lawson Compared
Liam Lawson earns a $1m base at Racing Bulls, the top of Lindblad’s $500k-1m band. Add both bonus scenarios and it’s $2m against $1m-1.5m. Lawson also leads on points, 77 to 38, and like Lindblad he has no deal beyond this season, so Red Bull still has both Racing Bulls seats to settle for 2027.
Racing Bulls pays Arvid Lindblad a base salary of $500k-1m in 2026, his first season in Formula 1. A strong year could add around $500k in bonuses. That gives him a potential income of $1m-1.5m, and he shares the lowest salary band on the grid with Franco Colapinto.
Arvid Lindblad makes around $62k a month in 2026, based on the middle of his $500k-1m Racing Bulls salary band, which is about $2,055 a day. Adding the $500k bonus allowance would lift his monthly figure to $104k.
These averages are built from a salary band, so Racing Bulls may pay him different sums.
Arvid Lindblad lives just outside Lisbon in Portugal, where he’s been based since 2024. He still spends a lot of time in the UK, because his younger brother goes to school there. He was born in Virginia Water in Surrey and races for Racing Bulls under the British flag.
Arvid Lindblad makes about $22k-43k per race in 2026, based on his $500k-1m Racing Bulls base spread across the season, and the middle of that band works out at around $33k. With the $500k bonus allowance included, the per-race range rises to $43k-65k, although Racing Bulls doesn’t pay him race by race.
No 2027 contract has been confirmed for Arvid Lindblad yet. His Racing Bulls deal covers the 2026 season only, and no extension had been announced by late September. Reports suggest Red Bull will keep him, and 38 points as a rookie strengthen his case, but the seat still needs to be made official.
