NEW DELHI: Rising Indian star Kush Maini had a great start to his Formula 2 debut as he finished a creditable fourth in the feature race held in Sakhir, Bahrain on Sunday.
Maini, who set the sixth fastest time in the qualifiers, finished seventh in the sprint race on Saturday. The Indian racer grabbed 14 points over the weekend.
It was a forgettable outing for Jehan Daruvala, who is into his fourth season. He did well to finish sixth in the sprint race before struggling to 17th in the feature race.
“It was a nerve-wrecking session. I knew from testing and since I've driven this car that it suits my driving style, and I know that the Campos cars are really good. I knew that if we put everything together, we could be in the mix and that's what made it more stressful,” said Maini.
Maini stands fourth in the drivers' championship after round 1. The next race will be held in Saudi Arabia from March 17-19 as a support event to Formula 1.
