Jehan Daruvala completes successful F1 test with McLaren
FirstpostThe 23-year-old Indian driver completes over 130 laps around Silverstone and is now eligible for a F1 super license. Mumbai: India’s Jehan Daruvala made a successful Formula One test debut this week with world championship-winning team McLaren. The test was Jehan’s first taste of Formula One machinery and he chalked up over 130 laps combined over the two days, over twice the distance F1 drivers will cover during next weekend’s British Grand Prix. Jehan said, “I really enjoyed my first time driving a Formula One car. I felt I was able to push closer to the limit with every lap and I can’t wait to drive one of these cars again.” Jehan currently races with Italian team Prema in the Formula 2 championship, the feeder series that sits one step below Formula One, and is third in the overall standings.
