On Sunday, Jehan Daruvala created history by becoming the first driver from India to win an Formula 2 race when he finished on the top step of the podium at Sakhir sprint race in Bahrain. Daruvala, who races for Carlin, edged past the likes of Mick Schumacher, Yuki Tsunoda and Dan Ticktum.
Jehan Daruvala won the sprint race in Sakhir by 2.9s as he and his Carlin teammate Tsunoda finished 1-2. Ticktum was overtaken by Tsunoda late in the race as he finished 3rd on Sunday's spectacular race.
Mick, son of legendary Michael Schumacher, will join Haas at Formula 1 as the reigning Formula 2 champion next season as he sealed the F2 title despite missing the podium on Sunday.

Jehan Daruvala finished at the 12th spot of the F2 Drivers Standings but the 22-year-old looks to mount a title challenge in the next season.
"I always believed in myself, it was just a couple of reasons why things did really go well at the start of the season. They got better and better, and yeah, to finish on a high like I said means quite a lot to me," Daruvala told the press after his maiden F2 race win.
"I hope I will be back here next year in the FIA F2 Championship. Hopefully, this win gives me some confidence to be a contender for the title next year," added Jehan.
