F1 fans can't believe Arvid Lindblad's driving theory test score after he finally passes
Arvid Lindblad has finally passed his driving theory test in his bid to secure a full UK driving licence.
The 19-year-old is a current Formula 1 driver with Racing Bulls, despite not being legally allowed to drive on roads in the United Kingdom.
Lindblad took to social media to post his theory test certificate, but fans were quick to point out that he didn't exactly pass with flying colours. He got four questions wrong in the multiple-choice section, while scoring 52 out of 75 in hazard perception, not ideal for an F1 driver.

The teenager is in his rookie F1 season with Racing Bulls and scored points for the 10th time this season during the Spanish Grand Prix.
In an Instagram story, Lindblad showed off his pass certificate alongside the simple caption: "Easy dub." However, not all F1 fans agreed with his verdict.
Although his score of 52 out of 75 in the hazard perception section was comfortably above the 44-point pass mark, supporters were surprised to see an F1 driver score so low when it came to spotting potential hazards.
"Only 52 out of 75 on hazard perception lol, maybe with F1 driver reflexes he doesn't think some things are hazards because he can keep the car under control," wrote one fan on social media.
Another joked: "No yellow flags, that can't have been an issue."
Lindblad was also defended by several fans, who pointed out that he might actually have been punished for having such fast reaction speeds.
"He probably clicked too fast. You can click a fraction of a second too fast and get 0 instead of 5 points; it's very flawed," said another fan.

Arvid Lindblad defends Spanish Grand Prix crash
Lindblad defended his right to make mistakes after crashing out of FP2 at the Spanish Grand Prix at the weekend.
He lost control of his Racing Bulls car at Turn 13 at the MADRING, limiting him to just seven laps in FP3, although he still managed to qualify 10th.
He picked up another two points by finishing ninth in the Spanish capital on race day, having bounced back well from his crash earlier in the weekend.
"I definitely think that if I hadn't had that crash yesterday, the trajectory to quali would have been very different and I would have been a lot happier," he said.
"It is what it is, it's something to learn from. I'm not going to beat myself up for crashing, because it's something that's inevitable. I've been so on the limit this year, I've been so fast. It's my 10th Q3 of the season [excluding sprints]. I'm allowed to make mistakes. I'm going to learn from it."
