Maini brothers to race for Jenzer

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Brothers, Arjun and Kush Maini, will drive for Swiss outfit Jenzer Motorsport this racing season with Arjun back in the GP3 after his strong 10th place finish in the driver’s championsh­ip last year.

Kush will switch over to Jenzer for 2017 after finishing fifth in the Rookie Championsh­ip in the FIA Italian F4 Championsh­ip, said a press release.

Arjun had a very promising debut season in the GP3 and despite missing the first four races, he was the youngest to finish in the top 10 of the driver’s championsh­ip.

He also got his first podium finish in the GP3 at the Hungarian circuit in late July last year.

“I am very excited to drive for Jenzer Motorsport for the second year in a row. I had a good 2016 season in the GP3 and got my first podium as well. I’m hoping to perform more consistent­ly this year starting with a complete season and look forward to getting my first win in GP3. I missed out on Critical testing last year and am looking forward to 2017,” said Arjun.

Jenzer Motorsport, founded in 1993 by Andreas Jenzer, has won numerous drivers’ and teams’ titles in various championsh­ips and has competed in every season in the GP3 category since its inception in 2010, pocketing six wins in the GP3 Series along with 18 podiums.

The Swiss outfit has also competed in every season on the Italian F4 Championsh­ip, finishing second in the team championsh­ip and first in the driver championsh­ip with Marcos Siebert in 2016.
