India’s Jehan Daruvala raced to his second podium finish of the season with a fighting drive from 14th to third in the Formula 2 feature race at Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday.

The 23-year-old from Mumbai began his weekend on the back foot after a mechanical issue hampered him in qualifying. But the Red Bull-backed racer used a mix of race craft, strategy and tyre management on Sunday to claw his way up the order to third. “It’s very satisfying,” said Jehan. “Coming into this weekend I knew Prema had a really good car. I was really down after qualifying. But once we discovered that our lack of pace was down to a mechanical issue, it made me believe again. It was good damage limitation and honestly third was probably the maximum we could have had.”
