Mumbai, March 16 (Ians) India’s Formula 2 racer Jehan Daruvala will be looking to bounce back in Saudi Arabia this weekend, as he returns to Jeddah’s high-speed Corniche street track, which set the stage for a storming top-three finish for the young driver last year.
The 24-year-old, racing for reigning Netherlands-based champions MP Motorsport, endured a disappointing season-opening weekend in Bahrain a fortnight ago, as he struggled with tyre wear around the particularly abrasive Sakhir desert track.
But Jeddah’s 6.1-km long layout, which runs along the shores of the Red Sea, offers him the perfect opportunity to hit the reset button on his campaign.
Daruvala mounted a stirring podium comeback there last year, as he used a combination of strategy, tyre management and pure old race craft, which included a gutsy triple overtake, to go from 14th to third in Sunday’s feature race.
