India’s Jehan Daruvala Wins Maiden F2 Sprint Feature Race In Monza
Indian F2 driver Jehan Daruvala ranked 3rd in the F2 sprint race in Italy’s Monza. He expressed his happiness & pride about India’s win in the F2 sprint race.
Jehan Daruvala won his debut F2 feature race at Monza, Italy, on Sunday courtesy of a spectacular performance on the track. The Prema rider ranked 3rd in the sprint after three difficult rounds.
With 31 points from this past weekend, he secured fifth position with 126 points overall. He still has a chance to take third position in the championship at the time of the final round in Abu Dhabi in November 2022.
The Indian driver is competing in Formula 2 for the third and most likely final time.
He recently drove a Formula 1 vehicle for McLaren, but it now appears impossible for him to secure a race spot for the upcoming season.

Additionally, the Indian won again at Monza after winning there the previous year, giving him a total of six top-three finishes there.
