Jehan Daruvala will drive a Formula One car for the first time when he tests last year’s McLaren at Silverstone this week as part of his bid to become the third Indian to race at the pinnacle of motorsport.

The Red Bull junior driver, third in the Formula Two standings and already qualified for a Formula One super licence, will be behind the wheel on Tuesday and Wednesday. “This is nothing related to me getting a drive next year in Formula One,” he said. “But I have got this opportunity to be in an F1 car and do well and if I do get the opportunity I want to be ready.”

Daruvala is the highest-placed Red Bull junior in F2 but is in his third season and progressing up the ladder looks difficult for the 23-year-old. Red Bull’s main F1 team have world champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez on multi-year deals while sister team AlphaTauri have confirmed Pierre Gasly for 2023. — Reuters
