India`s F2 driver Jehan Daruvala returned to the podium with a third-place finish in the Formula 2 Sprint race at the hallowed Monza track here. The 23-year-old, having started fifth on the grid, eventually crossed the line seven seconds behind winner Juri Vips and runner-up Frederick Vesti on Saturday. "It feels good to be back," said Jehan, after taking his seventh top-three finish of the season. "It`s been a tough few weeks before this. I feel alive again and it feels nice to be back at the front," he added. This was Jehan`s fifth podium finish at Monza and he went wheel-to-wheel with Logan Sargeant right off the line.

The pair got involved in a heart-stopping battle all the way through the first chicane and the long, high-speed Curva Grande. Jehan, on the inside, defended robustly going into the second chicane to come out ahead. A brief safety car followed and while Jehan held his position at the restart, Sargeant slip-streamed past him soon after. The Prema Racing driver, however, fought back, getting past the American racer and setting his sights on fellow Red Bull junior Ayumu Iwasa.
