Zandvoort (The Netherlands), Apr 23 (PTI) Indian racer Kush Maini has clocked an impressive 193 laps while completing his first official Formula 1 test of the season with BWT Alpine F1 Team at the Circuit Zandvoort in a two-day, closed-door session.
The 25-year-old, who tested the F1 car for the first time at Abu Dhabi last year, drove the Alpine A521 as part of the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) programme, covering 822 kilometres in 193 laps.
