Lindgren led the Elite League scoring averages in 2009

Wolverhampton heat leader Freddie Lindgren insists Saturday's British Grand Prix is on the back burner until after his club's match at Ipswich.

The Swedish star heads to Cardiff on Saturday, 48 hours after a crucial Elite League trip to Foxhall Stadium.

"I need to do the job for Wolves first and then I can put my mind on Cardiff," the 24-year-old told BBC WM.

"It's a really important meeting for me, it's awesome, it's always a great atmosphere there."

He added: "Last year was good memories for me, I had second place on the rostrum - so one better would be fantastic."

The last couple of weeks have been really good for him - he' doing good for us Freddie Lindgren on brother Ludvig

A victory for Wolves would almost guarantee the reigning champions a place in the end of season play-offs.

The West Midlands club also carry with them the confidence garnered from Monday night's 54-39 victory over the same opponents at Monmore Green.

That result saw Lindgren's little brother Ludvig, 19, notch an impressive seven points from reserve, continuing an eye-catching run of form.

"The last couple of weeks have been really good for him, he's starting to run into some good form and he's doing good for us," said older brother Freddie.

Wolves will be without the injured Adam Skornicki at Ipswich, using the rider-replacement system rather than seeking the services of a guest rider.
