Mentored by ace driver Karun Chandok, his prodigy Arjun Maini is already making waves in the F1 circuit. The 19-year old has gone from strength to strength to make his dream finally come true. He will helm affairs as a simulator and will work alongside his GP3 Series racing campaign.
Recently, in an interview he said, “All of my racing to date has been with the focus of becoming a Formula One driver, and this opportunity puts me one step closer to my goal. I am eager to learn, understand and experience how a Formula One team operates. Everything I learn can be used immediately in GP3 while preparing for my ultimate goal of Formula One.”
This is what Karun Chandok said about him, “It’s a good first step into the F1 world and Arjun will learn a lot. How we convert this to a race seat in F1 will largely be down to his season in GP3 which starts this weekend. Still, I feel very proud to be one of India’s only two F1 drivers thus far, and I hope to help him expand that club in the future.”
