Daruvala wins Sprint Race; Piastri crowned F2 champion

India driver Jehan Daruvala

India's Jehan Daruvala won his second Sprint Race of the season at the final outing at Yas Marina even as Oscar Piastri ran a superb race from 10th to third to seal the Formula 2 crown with a podium on Saturday.

Carlin's Daruvala beat UNI-Virtuosi's Felipe Drugovich to take victory on the track, but all eyes were locked on Piastri to see if he could wrap up the Championship. And the PREMA driver's stylish performance was a fitting end to a phenomenal campaign, which includes five wins, 10 podiums, and five poles.

Piastri completed a historic hat-trick in Sprint Race 1 at Yas Marina, claiming the overall title to add it to a collection that includes the 2020 Formula 3 Championship and the 2019 Formula Renault trophy.
