London, Nov 11 (IANS): Kush Maini has finished second in the 2020 British F3 Championship, improving on his third-place finish in 2018. The Indian picked up three race wins and nine podium finishes, missing out on the title to American Kaylen Frederick.
Maini had taken the championship lead after his first win of the year at Brand's Hatch and he continued to stay on top with a win at Donington Park.
