MUMBAI, April , 2022: Indian Formula 2 racer Jehan Daruvala heads to historic Imola this weekend eyeing his third podium finish from as many rounds at what will be a home event for his Italian team Prema.

The 4.9-kilometer long Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, named after the Ferrari founder and his son, is among motor-racing’s most iconic and challenging venues.   

It will feature on the Formula 2 calendar for the first time with the championship acting as a support series to this weekend’s Formula 1 race at the circuit.

Jehan said, “I’m really excited to race in Imola this weekend. The track oozes history and tradition and, at the same time, is a real drivers’ circuit that should be thrilling to race on. It’s a new track for us in Formula 2 and I have been hard at work on the simulator getting to grips with it. It would be amazing to carry the momentum from our podiums in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia into Imola, all the more so as it’s a home event for Prema. So, it’s going to be a full push this weekend.”


Jehan has prepared for the round with an intense three-day test session at Spain’s Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The Red Bull-backed racer, who has scored three wins and nine podiums in Formula 2, opened this season with a second-place finish in Bahrain. He followed that up with a tenacious drive from 14th to third a week later in Jeddah.

This weekend marks the start of the championship’s European season and Jehan will be hunting for another rostrum result straight up.

Track action for the Imola round will begin with practice and qualifying on Friday. The first race of the weekend, the Sprint race, will take place on Saturday, with the main Feature race set to be held ahead of the Formula One Grand Prix on Sunday.

Free practice: Friday, April 22nd at 1435 IST

Sprint race: Saturday, April 23rd at 2125 IST**

by samikha   Mumbai, May, 2024: The scion of Lord Shri Ram's lineage, Darwin Platform Group of Companies (DGPC) Founder and Chairman Ajay Harinath Singh has found himself targeted by unseen forces with vested interests. Retaliating to these ‘unseen forces’ the Darwin Platform Chief emphasized that life threats and malicious campaigns, resulting from political vendetta make him more determined to fight the battle and expose them.  The whispers of a conspiracy began years ago, fueled by jealousy and fear of his growing influence in the 2000s. Coming from a Royal family of Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh), his popularity in the state and Maharashtra unnerved many political parties that used to govern. Aligned with sacred lineage, his passion for nation-building and Hindutva made him popular among people and the BJP, however, this antagonized Congress and their current allies. Questions are many- Was the Congress party, in its bid to maintain its hold on power, orchestrating a campaign t...
