Aron and Maini Hit the Track in Abu Dhabi

Reserve Alpine drivers Paul Aron and Kush Maini will have the opportunity to test the A525 during the upcoming session in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

Aron will first take to the track on Friday, standing in for Pierre Gasly in the opening practice session. It will be his third FP1 outing of the season after appearances in Monza and Mexico City. He noted that these sessions have significantly contributed to his development and expressed his gratitude to the team for their trust, adding that he will do his utmost to support the team’s preparations for the weekend.

For Maini, the test will mark his first full experience driving a current Formula 1 car, as he has previously worked only with machinery from past seasons. He stated that he knows the Yas Marina Circuit well from Formula 2 and is eager to compare that experience with driving an F1 car, emphasizing that he will focus on executing the team’s program as precisely as possible.
