Monday, 28 May: Maverick Racing has confirmed it will run a third boat at the UIM F1H2O Grand Prix of London on 15-17 June with Norwegian Mette Brandt Bjerknaes joining Cedric Deguisne’s French outfit.

The 29-year-old Drobak resident steps up from F2 and Endurance Racing to make her F1H2O debut, swelling the ranks of women competing in the top-flight of circuit racing to three, joining her fellow countrywoman Marit Stromoy and Germany’s Simone Schuft.

Deguisne says is waiting on news from Mike Szymura and Erik Stark to see who will be in the number two boat.
