Wednesday, 14 October 2015 15:07

Former F1 driver Max Chilton has all but closed the door on a return to the sport as he targets a breakthrough in the IndyCar Series. The Brit, 24, set a world record during his time with the now defunct-Marussia F1 by finishing 19 of 19 races in his rookie year in 2013. Speaking exclusively to ARN, Chilton is now targeting other challenges after bowing out of F1 last year.
