Arden signs Andre Negrao to complete its 2015 GP2 driver line-up
Arden Motorsport has completed its GP2 driver line-up by retaining Andre Negrao to partner Formula Renault 3.5 convert Norman Nato this year
Brazilian Negrao finished 12th in his rookie season of GP2 last year, taking best finishes of fifth in both Monza races.
The 22-year-old scored all of his points at the Spa, Monza and Sochi rounds late in the campaign, and both team and driver hope to build on that progress in his second season.
"Last year we achieved our target of scoring points in the second half of the championship," said Negrao.
"I had a very good feeling with the whole Arden team so we decided to continue for the 2015 season."
Team boss Garry Horner added: "We are very pleased to retain Andre for the forthcoming season.
"Having worked with him for the last 12 months, he has formed into a very motivated driver.
"He has developed a very good relationship with the team and we had made great progress by the end of the season."
