This monumental achievement adds to a stellar year for Kush Maini, who earlier became the first Indian to claim an F2 pole position.
Kush Maini put in a solid qualifying round in Abu Dhabi
Kush Maini has created history by becoming first ever Indian racer to win FIA Constructors Championship. Maini drives for Invicta Racing team in the Formula 2.
2024 has been an impressive season for Maini who earlier became the first Indian to claim an F2 pole position. Despite the ups and downs of the season, he played a pivotal role in Invicta’s success, securing five podiums, including a race win in Hungary.
His pole position in Jeddah set the tone for the team’s dominant campaign, culminating in their victory by a 34.5-point margin over Campos Racing – Maini’s former team.
For the final race, Maini put on a solid qualifying round in Abu Dhabi qualifying P6 and had even better starts in both the races.
He gained 6 positions in the sprint on his first lap and 3 in the feature on his first lap. However, some damage on his floor put him on the backfoot for the sprint, while a stalled pitstop hampered his plans of finishing the season on a high in the feature race on Sunday.
“Not the year I wanted it to be given how we started, but still a lot of positives to take away including a Constructors Championship. Thank you to everyone at Invicta for a good run and wish them all the luck for the future. Looking forward to what’s next for me and raring to go for next year,” said Maini.
