Mumbai lad Jehan Daruvala grabbed another podium and a rookie class win at the Hungarian round of the European F3 series held in Budapest.
The Force India Academy driver finished 3rd overall in race1 while also taking the victory in the rookie category.
“I am happy to have made it onto the podium again here. Towards the halfway point, I was given a warning for track limit infringements, so I was a little bit more cautious after that. I didn’t want to risk a penalty. Then, I hoped for Jake to make a mistake in front of me, but he didn’t give me that pleasure. I also had to keep an eye on Mawson who had closed right up” said Jehan
Race 2 & Race 3 saw Jehan qualify ninth & tenth respectively, after he took time to adjust to the high cross wind situation at the circuit during qualifying. The tight nature of the circuit meant Jehan could do little in terms of moving up the order. He moved up a place in each race to finish eight & ninth in the two races which also became rookie podiums second and third respectively.
Jehan moves up sixth overall in the points table to and remains second in the Rookie standings with 212 points. The FIA F3 European Championship moves to the street circuit of Norisring in Germany on the 1st & 2nd of July.
