Chilton linked to Marussia for next season Max Chilton has been promoted from reserve driver and signed to take a race seat for Marussia next season, Eddie Jordan has claimed. The pundit and former driver Jordan says the 21-year-old will become the fourth British driver on the grid for 2013, alongside Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Paul di Resta but Marussia have not yet formally announced Chilton's position. Chilton had his first racetrack experience of a Formula One car on when he drove for Marussia in first practice at the Abu Dhabi GP.
