India's Jehan Daruvala recovers to top-10 finish in Formula 2 Sprint race

JEDDAH: India's Jehan Daruvala recovered from mechanical problems in qualifying to finish in the top-10 in Saturday's Formula 2 Sprint race at Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

The 23-year-old from Mumbai, who races for Prema, started 13th, having nursed a component issue on his car during qualifying around the challenging 6.1-km street track. But the Red Bull-backed racer stayed out of trouble to claw his way back to ninth in a crash-marred, safety car-interrupted race.

With his qualifying problems resolved, Jehan had the speed to make further progress up the order. But the safety car interruptions, neutralised the race, limiting the number of racing laps. IANS
