Kush Maini to Continue with Alpine F1 Team Through 2027 Without Race Seat
Indian driver Kush Maini will continue his association with the Alpine Formula 1 team through 2027, despite not securing a race seat after four seasons in Formula 2 where he ranks ninth with 90 points. Alpine has retained Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto for the next F1 season, leaving Maini's future role with the team undecided. He also serves as a reserve driver for Mahindra Racing in Formula E but faces limited options for next season. Maini remains committed to pursuing his Formula 1 ambitions.
