Game on – first race of 2026: UAE4 at Yas Marina!

Red Bull Junior and Hitech driver Scott Kin Lindblom is ready to rock´n roll in the UAE4 series.
Official pre-season testing earlier this week saw Scott on top, but the young swede plays it cool.
– Testing is testing, what matters is when the lights go out and we fight for the victory, Scott says.

With the Formula Trophy and the Saudi Arabian F4 Championships in november and december 2025 under his belt, the track layout of Abu Dhabis Yas Marina Circuit where the first race of 2026 will take place is not new to him.
– It´s a great track, fantastic environment to compete in, and now we have put some laps on the track as well, Scott says.

The winter series in the Middle East are the preparation grounds for all top drivers on the ladder to higher Formula racing series. Scott Kin Lindbloms main objective 2026 is the British F4 Championship with Hitech.

– The races here in the UAE4 is a perfect way for the team to work together and to prepare, the Hitech guys are doing a great job and it´s really fun to work together, Scott says.
