Development driver — a position that will receive the Russian 16-year-old Nikita Mazepin in the team, «Formula 1» Force India. He signed a long-term contract with the team and will participate in the development of the car: the work on the simulator, and participate in racing events.
In 2010 he made his debut Vitaly Petrov (Renault). In 2013, a contract was signed with Sergey Sirotkin (Sauber), however, he was unable to rise above the test pilot. Since 2014 the arena came Daniel Kvyat, who was able to break with the team Toro Rosso to Red Bull.
We hope that Nikita Mazepin is not passing figure in «Formula 1», and its constant participant. While in his piggy bank — the second place in the World Championship in karting in 2014 and third place in the Austrian Nordic stage last season, «Formula-Renault 2.0». In parallel with the small step career in Force India, the pilot will act in the European «F3».
