Le Castellet (France): Jehan Daruvala continued to scorch the track as the young Indian racer completed a hat-trick of podiums by finishing third in the FIA Formula 3 Championship after starting eighth on the grid in the sprint race here Sunday. Jehan's victory on Saturday in the feature race meant he had to start from eighth on Sunday due to the regulations which dictate that the top eight finishers are reversed for the start of the sprint race. This was Jehan's third consecutive podium in four races and it came in front of the Formula 1 teams since the F3 now runs as a support event to the main F1 Grand Prix.
"It's been a good weekend for the team and for me as well. This race was fun actually. At the start, I was a bit surprised by how quick the lights went out and then I was playing it a bit too safe for the first couple of laps," said Jehan after the race. "We knew we had the pace and the race was long, but maybe I took a bit too much time. When I got up to P6 the leading group of five cars was quite a long way ahead, and maybe my mistake at that stage was to push too hard to catch them instead of just chipping away.
