Abu Dhabi GP: Kush Maini scripts history again in the Formula 2 2024 season. The Invicta Racing team clinched the F2 Constructor’s Championship, making the 24-year-old the first and only Indian to win a FIA Constructors’ World Championship at the pinnacle of Junior Formula.
This monumental achievement adds to a stellar year for Kush, who earlier became the first Indian to claim an F2 pole position. Despite the ups and downs of the season, Kush played a pivotal role in Invicta's success, securing five podiums, including a race win in Hungary. His pole position in Jeddah set the tone for the team’s dominant campaign, culminating in their victory by a 34.5-point margin over Campos Racing - Kush’s former team.
For the final race, Maini put on a solid qualifying round in Abu Dhabi resulting in P6 and had even better starts in both races. He gained 6 positions in the sprint on his first lap and 3 in the feature on his first lap. However, some damage on his floor put him on the back foot for the sprint, while a stalled pitstop hampered his plans of finishing the season on a high in the feature race on Sunday.
