Maini was announced as Mahindra’s reserve driver for the 2024 season earlier this month, with countryman Jehan Daruvala - who previously held the role - leaving the team after a single year to race for the rival Maserati MSG squad.
As part of his job, Maini can be called in at the last-minute by Mahindra should race drivers Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara have to miss a race for any reason.
