Arjun Maini 'doing the right things' to get into F1 - Haas team boss

Barcelona, Spain -- Indian driver Arjun Maini is 'doing the right things' to get into Formula One, says Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner. Maini, who is contracted with Haas as a development driver, was recently signed up by Trident Motorsport for the 2018 FIA Formula 2 Championship starting on April 6 in Bahrain.

Last year, Maini became the first Indian to win a GP3 series race. He's also only the third Indian after Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok to be part of a Formula One team. Mentored by Chandhok, Maini moved mid-season in 2016 to GP3 after a full season in European F3.
