Jehan Daruvala finishes third at F3 Asian C'ship

DUBAI: Mumbai Falcons made an impressive debut in the Formula 3 Asian Championship in the United Arab Emirates, with Jehan Daruvala clinching the third place in the first race of Round 1 at the Dubai Autodrome.

Jehan had a good start and quickly moved up a place to third and he held on to it to claim the podium. His good run over the weekend helped him finish in seventh position in the overall drivers' standings with 27 points. Kush Maini, however, was unfortunate as he was hit by another car and had to pit, which put him at the back of the entire field. He still managed to clock the second fastest lap time in this race which allowed him to start second for Race 2.

An unlucky brake issue, again, saw Kush barely move fifty meters down the track, at the start of the race. Jehan too lost a few positions in the opening lap but recovered well later to finish seventh. IANS
