The four finalists who will contest the 2023 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award have been selected.
Formula 3 race winner Taylor Barnard, GB3 championship protagonists Callum Voisin and Joseph Loake, and Italian F4 points leader Arvid Lindblad will battle it out for prizes that include a test in Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One® Team machinery. None of the four have been finalists before.
Previous winners of the Award include 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button, 13-time grand prix winner David Coulthard, current F1 drivers Lando Norris and George Russell, triple Indianapolis 500 winner Franchitti, and 2014 World Endurance champion Anthony Davidson.Taylor BarnardThis protege of German team PHM Racing did a fantastic job on his step from F4 to Formula Regional Middle East to finish as runner-up.
Of Swedish descent but based in Surrey, Red Bull Junior Lindblad only turned 16 in August but has already won six races in Italian F4 with Prema Racing and tops the table with two events to go. He also lies second in the Euro 4 standings after a win last time out at Monza, also with Prema. He says: “If you’d said at the start of the season I’d be in the championship fight I’d have taken it with both hands. Stepping up from F4 to GB3 and being on the pace was a massive surprise and the GB3 car felt pretty natural.
