Haas adds Arjun Maini to its development driver programme

Haas has confirmed the addition of Arjun Maini to its development driver squad alongside Santino Ferrucci.

Indian driver Maini, who is competing in this year's GP3 championship, a series he finished 10th in last year despite joining the campaign four races late. Previously, he finished runner up to now-Mercedes junior George Russell in the 2014 British BRDC F4 championship.

The addition of the 19-year-old means the Haas squad, currently in its second F1 season, has two development drivers on the books after re-signing Ferrucci earlier this month. The announcement said Maini will be "embedded with Haas F1 Team at every opportunity" in a deal which will involve extensive simulator work.
