Arjun Maini

Arjun Maini (born 10 December 1997)[1] is an Indian professional racing driver, currently competing in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.

[8] He idolises Sebastian Vettel and in his free time enjoys wrestling, cycling, fitness activities and video editing.

After his first titles, Maini raced on foreign soil for the first time in the Asia Max championship, which led to immediate success.

[10] He then took part in the Rotax Max Challenge India - Junior in 2010 and finished in 2nd place, with the highest number of fastest laps.

However, a learning year in the FIA European Formula 3 series meant he could only manage 18th overall and 9th in the rookie class.

He scored two podiums, including a victory in the sprint race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, and ended up 9th in the championship, two positions behind teammate Alessio Lorandi.

At the end of 2017 he took part in a post season test in Abu Dhabi with F2 teams Trident and Russian Time.

[14] Maini signed for Trident Racing in the 2018 FIA Formula 2 Championship, partnering with fellow Haas F1 Team development driver Santino Ferrucci.

[20][21] Maini replaced Dorian Boccolacci at Campos Racing in the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship at Spielberg.

[23] Maini changed from single seaters to Endurance racing in the European Le Mans Series with RLR M SPORT.

In 2021 Maini joined the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters driving for Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed.
