Eagled-eye fans have noticed Lindblad’s racing helmet has three flags on the back – for England, Sweden and India.<\/p>\n
He grew up in Virginia Water in Surrey but his dad’s Swedish and his family’s Indian heritage comes from his mum’s side.<\/p>\n
“I’ve really been surrounded by all three cultures. It’s shaped me into the person and driver I am today,” he says.<\/p>\n
Lindblad has a few months to wait until his first home Grand Prix \u2013 at Silverstone in July \u2013 something he says will “be really special”.<\/p>\n
“My whole family will be there. I think racing at home, there’s no real feeling like it.” <\/p>\n
But somewhere he won’t be able to race this season is another place that means a lot to him \u2013 India.<\/p>\n
The Buddh International Circuit hosted races in in Uttar Pradesh for three seasons but ended in 2013. <\/p>\n
It didn’t return after a tax dispute with the local authorities, with F1 bosses stating at the time the reasons behind it were “very political”. <\/p>\n
Lindblad went to Delhi with Racing Bulls in pre-season and says getting the chance to race there would be “really cool”. <\/p>\n
“I race under the British flag so having one home race is pretty cool, if there were to be a second one that’d be really special as well,” he says.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know the ins and outs of it, or how realistic it is, but it would mean a lot to me.”<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, an Indian government minister claimed there would be an India Grand Prix next year.<\/p>\n
