Marussia Officially Confirms Max Chilton For 2014

Max Chilton has officially been confirmed as Marussia's racing driver for the 2014 season. Team President and Sporting Director Graeme Lowdon officially announced the 22 year old as the team's racing driver for the upcoming season at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham.

Marussia's official statement about the Brit's confirmation came one day after the FIA released the entry list for this year's F1 World Championship. All teams and drivers are listed, with Chilton being the lastest driver added on the sheet and Caterham the only team yet to confirm its full driver line-up.

Chilton, who scored his best result (14th) in Formula 1 at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2013 will once again race alongside Frenchman Jules Bianchi at the Anglo-Russian team.

"I am really happy to be continuing with the Marussia F1 Team into a second season, the Surrey-born said. "Continuity is important for the Team but also for me as a driver. You learn such a lot in your debut season, but the second year is when you can really pull all of those new experiences together and show your true potential."

"That has always been the case for me in the junior categories and I’ll be aiming for a similar step in my second year of F1 competition. I would like to thank the Marussia F1 Team for their continued faith and support."

"They are a great bunch of people who are extremely hard-working and ambitious and I can’t wait to embark on our 2014 season challenge together."

Graeme Lowdon, Marussia Team President and Sporting Director commented: “We are delighted to announce Max directly to an audience of Formula 1 fans at the Autosport International Show today. Judging by the warm reaction we received at the Show, they felt it was well worth the wait to hear the news first hand and we at the Marussia F1 Team felt it was a fitting reward for the incredible support we receive from them."

"Keeping the fans at the heart of our sport is critical to its continued success. It was great to see Max and Jules developing during their debut season last year, rewarding our confidence in such a young but obviously talented line-up."

"I’m sure the fans are as excited as we are to see what our drivers can go on to achieve in their second season with us."

John Booth, Marussia F1 Team Principal said: "We are pleased to confirm that Max will continue with the Team into the 2014 season. In view of next year’s regulation changes, continuity is key, so it is highly beneficial to our technical team that we retain the same driver line-up moving forward."

"Max had an impressive debut season last year and, of course, achieved a new rookie record for finishing all 19 races. He can be justifiably proud of the progress he made through the course of 2013. With our race driver line-up complete we can now focus all of our attentions on our 2014 car and moving the Marussia F1 Team to the next level."

"After our success in achieving 10th place in the Constructors’ Championship, we have set our sights on a bigger and better 2014 campaign."
