British driver Arvid Lindblad, of the Racing Bulls team in the Formula One World Championship, said he received his first driving lesson on public roads, days before his participation in the Belgian Grand Prix. The 18-year-old driver spoke about this during his appearance in the commentary booth of Sky Sports during the international cricket match between England and India on Tuesday at Edgbaston: 'It's a bit sad that I haven't gotten my driver's license yet. It was funny at first, but now it's a bit ridiculous. So I'm working on solving this matter, I had my first driving lesson yesterday, so yes, I need to get the license soon.' Lindblad had passed the theory test, but despite regularly driving Formula 1 cars at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour, he is still not authorized to drive a car alone on public roads in Britain. In contrast, Italian Kimi Antonelli, championship leader and Mercedes driver who has won five races, passed his driving test in his country last year when he was 18. Lindblad has scored points in the last four races of his first season in the World Championship with the Red Bull-owned team, and currently occupies 11th place in the championship standings among 22 drivers. He also expressed his eagerness to compete in the Spa-Francorchamps race this week, especially taking on the famous and fearsome 'Eau Rouge' corner. The British-born driver, whose mother has Indian origins, said: 'I think it will be a completely different experience from anything I've done before.'
