Sochi, Russia : Indian racing sensation, Jehan Daruvala created history at the Russian Grand Prix weekend, by concluding the FIA F3 Championship in third. This is the best championship position ever, by an Indian in an official F1 feeder series.

It was heartbreak however for Jehan, in the last race of the season, when the Indian’s car was unable to start on the formation lap. Jehan who was due to start fourth on the grid, but instead had to start from the pitlane, after his car was pushed off the track.

Thereafter Jehan drove arguably, the best race of the season. He steadily worked his way up, overtaking a car a lap on an average. The highly competitive nature of the FIA F3 championship ensures that even racers at the back, are capable of posting quick laptimes. Yet, Jehan was able to consistently put in laptimes similar to the leaders while overtaking. Unfortunately he pushed too hard and went off track at one point, due to which he was penalised 5 seconds, inspite of giving back the position he gained.
