The Story in Brief
Indian racer Kush Maini says Formula One remains his dream and he is determined to finish the remaining five F2 races strongly to push for a seat at the pinnacle of motorsport. Racing for ART Grand Prix this season, the 25-year-old has taken two pole positions and won the Barcelona Sprint race, besides finishing third in the Silverstone Feature race and runner-up in the Budapest Feature race.
Maini is part of the Alpine Formula 1 programme and is scheduled to drive a 2025-spec Alpine car in a two-day test at the Red Bull Ring. He acknowledged that his results have not consistently reflected his speed, and emphasised the importance of consistency, technical feedback, and earning enough Super License points. Sportstar reports.
The Indian Opinion
Kush Maini's pace in F2 and F1 tests is genuine, but talk of an imminent F1 seat overlooks how brutally selective the sport is: teams demand championship-level consistency, not just fast laps. Maini is in his fourth F2 season without a title fight. The next five rounds, especially the feature races, will show whether he can convert speed into sustained results. The real number to watch is his Super License points tally at the end of the season.
