The community and the nation’s racing prodigy – Jehan Daruvala – finished third in the Asian F3 Championship as Mumbai Falcons ended their debut season in international racing on a high note with both their drivers finishing on the podium at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

Jehan Daruvala completed the 2021 F3 Asian Championship with an overall ranking of 3rd place, behind championship winner (and fellow F2 driver) Guanyu Zhou and Pierre-Louis Chovet. While it may not have been the result he was aiming for, it yet hands the Indian F1 hopeful 12 valuable Super Licence points.

The team grabbed a total of three podiums during the last weekend of the five-round F3 championship. The Falcons missed the second place by a mere two points, riding on an impressive nine podium finishes through the championship.

Daruvala earlier briefly led the championship standings after round 2. However, a difficult round 4 in which he scored points in just one race led to his title challenge slipping away. Daruvala’s third place on the standings, however, earns the Formula 1 hopeful 12 Super Licence points. Kush Maini, who has had a tough season as opposed to Daruvala, started Race 1 in the fourth position while Jehan started in sixth.
