By the time Armaan got into action again, it looked like he had no chance.But the young Indian made the most of the out lap and the first flying to jump to fifth during the pit stop cycle. He gained two more positions in the rest of the race to finish third overall."I am happy with the way we tackled this weekend," Armaan said. "It's great to finish on the podium, especially given all our woes today."Armaan conceded that they have a lot of work to do on the car to reach their fastest and best speeds."I am sure that by the time we arrive in Thailand for the second round my team would do the needful and we will come back stronger," he said.
