GP2: Russian Time retains 2014 drivers

Russian Time has announced that it will retain Mitch Evans and Artem Markelov for the 2015 GP2 season. The pair helped the 2013 teams' champion to fifth in the standings last year, with Evans winning two races.

"I'm pleased that we have continuity for 2015 with both drivers," Team principal Svetlana Strelnikova said. "It was a good team environment last year and Mitch and Artem worked well together.

"Mitch's results proved that he belongs at the top level and I would be delighted if he can take that final step and challenge for the championship."
