"Feel Like I Came At The Right Time": Jehan Daruvala On Joining Formula E

14.01.2024 - 04:47 sports.ndtv.com

Indian racer Jehan Daruvala says it's the right time for him to move to Formula E, adding that he has no regrets about spending a few extra years in the junior series for a shot at the elusive Formula 1.

Jehan moved to Formula E after spending four years in the F1 feeder series Formula 2, where he was a part of the Red Bull junior team.

However, he failed to land a seat in F1. Post Formula 2 stint, the 25-year-old served as a reserve driver for Mahindra Racing in Formula E for a year. "In hindsight yes, everything is different.

I was pushing to get into Formula 1 for those few years so I don't have any regrets," Jehan told PTI ahead of his debut Formula E race here. "I feel like I have come here (Formula E) at the right time, I have matured and I'm still only 25, still young," he added.
