Arvid Lindblad was delighted to claim the final point on offer in the Sprint at the Canadian Grand Prix, with the Racing Bulls driver crossing the line as \u2018best of the rest\u2019 in P8.<\/p>\n
After making it through to the top-10 shootout during Friday\u2019s Sprint Qualifying, Lindblad<\/a> lined up in ninth on the grid for Saturday\u2019s 100km dash, just behind the Red Bull<\/a> of Isack Hadjar<\/a>.<\/p>\n With Hadjar experiencing an issue that forced him out of the running during the opening stages of the Sprint \u2013 though he later rejoined at the back of the field \u2013 Lindblad moved up to eighth and held on to seal a point.<\/p>\n This also marks the first time that the Briton has completed a Sprint, having retired from China\u2019s event while he did not start at the last Saturday race in Miami.<\/p>\n Asked after the Sprint in Montreal about how satisfied he was with his result, Lindblad explained: \u201cYeah, obviously very happy. I think that was the most achievable coming into the race today.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we knew that maybe if I could grab a spot on Lap 1, it was about hanging on. That didn\u2019t happen and unfortunately Isack had the problem, but I think there was no more available so I\u2019m very happy to take a point.\u201d<\/p>\n On the other side of the garage at Racing Bulls<\/a>, Liam Lawson<\/a> started the Sprint from back in P18, having been forced to miss Sprint Qualifying on Friday due to a hydraulic leak on his car being unable to be repaired in time.<\/p>\n The New Zealander managed to make gains come Saturday, however, and was content with what he achieved after taking P11.<\/p>\n \u201cI got some laps down, which was good, and the car seems quite fast as well so [we were] obviously trying to protect it as well, knowing that we have Qualifying this afternoon,\u201d said Lawson.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it was okay, we moved forwards. Obviously Quali\u2019s going to be very different, the way we drive the car, but I think it would have helped me at least a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arvid Lindblad was delighted to claim the final point on offer in the Sprint at the Canadian Grand…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-456646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
