Indian Driver Kush Maini Tests Formula 1 Car For BWT Alpine F1 Team; 4th Indian Driver To Do So
Kush Maini Tests Formula: India’s top racer and current F2 driver Kush Maini tested for the BWT Alpine F1 team in the Red Bull Ring, at Spielberg in Austria, making it a watershed moment for Indian motorsport. Maini became the fourth Indian to successfully test a Formula 1 car joining the likes of Narine Karthikeyan and Karun Chandok, who raced in F1.
The test gains greater significance with the Alpine F1 team recently announcing that their driver Esteban Ocon will be leaving after the end of the current season. It’s a major step for Maini in his ambitions to become an F1 driver.
Maini drove BWT Alpine’s A522 Car and clocked more than 500 kilometers in it. He did more than 110 Laps of the Red Bull Ring.
