Mumbai lad Jehan Daruvala brought the curtain down on a difficult maiden Formula Two campaign in style, with victory in the championship's final race of the season in Bahrain.

Daruvala, 22, from Dadar's Parsi Colony had started from pole position, as per Formula Two's reverse-grid rules, after finishing Saturday's feature race eighth. "I always believed in myself," said Daruvala who drives for British team Carlin and is part of Formula One team Red Bull's young driver programme.
