Record-breaking Brit Max Chilton has been retained by Marussia for a second season.

The 22-year-old became the first driver in the sport’s history to finish all 19 rounds last year.

Frenchman Jules Bianchi continues as his team-mate.

“Continuity for me is key,” said Chilton yesterday.

“I did three years in GP2, the first year I learnt well and the second we pushed on.

"We could go for poles and wins and the whole atmosphere changed. Hopefully that will happen with Marussia.”

With key rule changes for 2014, Marussia sporting director Graeme Lowdon said continuity was also crucial for the promising new British outfit.

Lowdon added that Chilton won his place with his improvements after last year’s summer break.
