Overview
- Chiesa, who coached both drivers, on Sunday compared Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad to Lewis Hamilton and cautioned that his attitude could hold him back.
- He praised Lindblad as smooth and technical, noted his quick learning and wet‑weather pace, and said the teenager attacks overtakes yet rarely triggers big incidents.
- He warned that the driver must “count to ten” before speaking, recalling a karting race at age 14 when Lindblad swore at him and accused a teammate of having a better engine.
- The assessment comes after a rapid rise that included one season in F2 with three wins and an F1 debut that yielded points in Australia, followed by eye‑catching drives in China and Japan.
- Chiesa, a Kart Republic boss who also guided Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, said Lindblad will be good for Red Bull but needs more political and polite conduct to thrive in F1.
