The BBC reported that Jehan Daruvala is on the Haas F1 Team’s list as a candidate to replace Nikita Mazepin.
Jehan Daruvala from India won the 3rd place in the FIA-F3 ranking in 2019. He has been in FIA-F2 from Carlin for the past two seasons and has won three, but he hasn’t been very successful yet. Still, it seems to be intriguing to the Haas F1 Team.
Jehan Daruvala could have a greater advantage over other drivers like Pietro Fittipaldi due to the sponsorship funding it can bring to the Haas F1 Team. Dalbara’s father, Fullshed, is a board member of the Indian solar company Sterling and Wilson, estimated to be worth € 2.5 billion, and is willing to help give his son this opportunity. Seems to be.
Funding will be an urgent issue for the Haas F1 Team, which has terminated its contract with Russian fertilizer company Uralkali, which was the title sponsor.
Jehan Daruvala is not the only name listed as a potential driver for the Haas F1 Team. The most likely scenario is Pietro Fittipaldi, who belongs to the Haas F1 Team as a reserve driver. The name of Antonio Giovinazzi, a contract driver for engine supplier Ferrari, is also mentioned.
But it’s amazing that Jehan Daruvala is mentioned by the Haas F1 Team. The 23-year-old Dalbara has signed a contract for the Red Bull Junior Program, and the transfer to the Haas F1 Team is not in line with expectations.
But it’s not uncommon for Red Bull junior drivers to sign another team. Daniel Ricciardo made his debut at HRT and Carlos Sainz is allowed to drive at Renault.
In addition, Jehan Daruvala is ranked low in the Red Bull Junior Team, with drivers Yuri Vips and Liam Lawson scheduled to run in free practice on Friday in 2022.
