Pedal on the metal: Jehan Daruvala aims higher after first Formula 2 points

At a time when most Indian athletes' sports careers are in limbo, Jehan Daruvala's is roaring forward. Last weekend, at the legendary Hungaroring, he won the first points of his debut Formula 2 season, finishing sixth. And he's aiming higher.

The regimen - meant to condition his neck to high speed g forces experienced on the race track, goes beyond what he requires for a Formula 2 race.
