Indian driver Kush Maini will stay with Alpine’s Formula 1 team until 2027, despite missing out on a race seat.
The 26-year-old is in his final Formula 2 season, ranking ninth with 90 points after four seasons in the series.
Alpine has retained Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto for next season, leaving Maini without a Formula 1 race seat.
