BANBURY, England — British driver Max Chilton has been retained by Marussia for the 2014 Formula One season.

The 22-year-old Chilton failed to win a point in his debut season last year but impressed by finishing every race.

With Jules Bianchi having also secured his seat for 2014, Marussia will keep the same driver lineup for the coming season.

Chilton says "continuity is important for the team but also for me as a driver. You learn such a lot in your debut season, but the second year is when you can really pull all of those new experiences together and show your true potential."
