India's Jehan Daruvala earned his sixth podium of the season and moved up to the second position after round six in the FIA Formula 3 championship here. Jehan had earlier bagged a sensational pole position, his first race in the series which is a support event to the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix. Jehan started well from pole and managed to exit the first corner ahead.
However Pedro Piquet, son of three-time Formula One champion Nelson Piquet, took advantage of the Indian's slip stream to overtake him after Eau Rouge. Thereafter, Jehan continued to lose ground and fell all the way to fourth. The Indian then pushed hard and was able to slowly move back into second place, behind Piquet. Unfortunately for Jehan, a Virtual Safety Car was declared and the timing of the call caused him to lose four seconds. Later, Jehan's Prema teammate Robert Shwartzman managed to use his DRS (Drag Reduction System) to drive right around Jehan.
