Jehan Daruvala eyes top 3 finish in drivers' championship after Barcelona win

One of the surest signs of having found your way into the national zeitgeist in India is to be featured in one of the pun loaded commercials for Amul Butter. In a tradition that goes back over fifty years, the topical advertisements have had record-creating cricketers, Indian prime ministers, supersonic missiles, US presidents. You can add 20-year-old race car driver Jehan Daruvala to that list now.

"Saare Jehan se accha. Maskavala for Daruvala" went the pun.

Daruvala earned this bit of pop acclaim for his most recent exploit, winning the season-opening race of the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.
