India’s Jehan Daruvala created history on Sunday as he became the first driver from the country to win a Formula 2 race as he finished on the top at Sakhir sprint race in Bahrain. Daruvela drives for Carlin and defeated some of the prominent names including Mick Schumacher.
Jehan Daruvala won the sprint race in Sakhir by 2.9s as he and his Carlin teammate Tsunoda finished 1-2.
“I always believed in myself, it was just a couple of reasons why things did really go well at the start of the season. They got better and better, and yeah, to finish on a high like I said means quite a lot to me,” Daruvala told the press after his maiden F2 race win.
“I hope I will be back here next year in the FIA F2 Championship. Hopefully, this win gives me some confidence to be a contender for the title next year.”
Jehan Daruvala finished at the 12th spot of the F2 Drivers Standings. On the other hand, Mick Schumacher will join Haas Formula 1 team.
