India's Jehan Daruvala showed a stellar display of pace in the 2020 FIA Formula 2 British GP over the weekend. The Carlin Motorsport Team driver finished fourth in the sprint race on Sunday, after a rather underwhelming start to the season in Austria. The Mumbai-based driver made his F2 debut this season and started the sprint race from the back of the grid after finishing at P12 in the feature race on Saturday. The F2 rookie worked his way up through the field to jump eight places in the final three laps in a spectacular performance.

The race saw some extremely competitive drivers on the grid posing a tough time for Jehan. Even though he was faster than the cars at the front, he was unable to overtake due to their DRS advantage. The driver made his pitstop on Lap 16 behind the safety car and Team Carlin decided to swap his tyres for mediums, which helped him gain two places.
