F1's rejection of a special exemption for Colton Herta from 2022 has taken the spotlight yet again after the series recently granted 17-year-old Arvid Lindblad an exemption for a Red Bull drive.

Arvid Lindblad is often labelled as ‘the new Max Verstappen’. Johnny Herbert even suggested that the Brit could be the driver to surpass Verstappen. But is the comparison between the two drivers

Red Bull protege Arvid Lindblad has been granted a rare FIA exemption for an F1 superlicence ahead of his 18th birthday, but where does he fit in to the team's plans?

This is an interesting entry into the debate between the reigning world champion and Hamilton, who many consider to be among the greatest handful of stars in the sport’s history.
