Arvid Lindblad Disqualified from Spa Francorchamps Feature Race

In a significant turn of events during the 2025 Formula 2 season, driver Arvid Lindblad of Campos Racing has been disqualified from the Spa Francorchamps Feature Race held on July 27, 2025. The disqualification stems from a technical infringement concerning the tyre pressures of his vehicle, which were found to be below the acceptable limits as outlined in Article 10.4.3 of the FIA F2 Technical Regulations.
Following the race, the officials referred Car 4 to the Stewards for review. The investigation involved discussions with team representatives, an FIA Technical Delegate, and a thorough examination of the tyre pressure measurement data. According to a statement from the FIA, the team acknowledged the breach, which ultimately led to Lindblad's disqualification from the final classification.
As a direct consequence of this decision, every driver who finished behind Lindblad moved up one position, with Roman Stanek of Invicta Racing being awarded the victory for the race.
The Spa Francorchamps circuit, renowned for its challenging layout and unpredictable weather conditions, hosted a thrilling event that saw Alexander Dunne clinch victory amidst the rain. The implications of Lindblad's disqualification extend beyond this single event, raising questions about compliance with technical regulations in the highly competitive world of Formula 2 racing.
This incident highlights the critical importance of adherence to technical specifications within motorsport, as teams and drivers navigate the complexities of performance under regulation. Lindblad's disqualification serves as a reminder of the stringent standards enforced by the FIA to maintain fairness and integrity in the sport.
Looking ahead, the Campos Racing team will need to address the issues that led to this infringement to avoid similar outcomes in future races. As the season progresses, the focus will now shift to the next event, where teams will be eager to capitalize on the lessons learned from Spa Francorchamps. Lindblad's performance and that of his team will be under increased scrutiny as they aim to regain their competitive edge in the championship standings.
