Title contender Jean-Éric Vergne, the series’ lone two-time champion who races out of the DS Penske garage, received a penalty for a tire-pressure violation and was sent to the back of the starting grid but rebounded to finish seventh. NEOM McLaren’s Jake Hughes was declared the polesitter. In the middle of the pole position ceremony, Nissan’s Sacha Fenestraz learned he was hit with a post-session penalty.
The event wasn’t without some controversy. There's a few moments in the race I wish I could do again and may have had a different outcome, but it is what it is. “I kind of became locked out a bit after the Safety Car. We are on a good roll, so good points and that's the main thing,” Evans said, unsure about whether he could have taken Cassidy in a green-light finish. I thought I had him, but he made a good move on me, and that was it. He said he “gave it my best today,” keeping pressure on Cassidy until Nico Müller’s wall-banger brought out the safety car with three laps remaining. It is going to be a really cool fight, but for the moment let’s just enjoy the fact we won in Monaco.”Įvans, who Cassidy said “showed today how bloody strong he is,” gave credit to the winner and his team. I am so happy we got the reward after the work,” Cassidy said. Both car crews and everyone in our garage helped out with the issues.
I qualified in 10th, and I was really happy with that, so that was kind of how our day was going. We had such a tough day, I was 21st in both Free Practices, which struck me a lot. “This feels amazing, This is so, so special. Nick Cassidy of Envision Racing leads the all-electric field on Saturday. So it's a bit strange to race for us right now but puts on a good show, for sure.” Right now, it's 15 laps with nobody wants to lead and then five laps of just chaos and then five laps of flat out. It's a bit more consistent the whole way through the race.
“I do feel like the Gen2 style of racing was a little bit better. “I would like to see a bit of a change moving forward,” he said. So it's difficult for us drivers right now. And then the last phase is just flat out. “Right now, it's just survival for the first 15-20 laps: try not pick up any damage and then see where you're at in the three-quarter phase of the race. “Coming up to the next races in Jakarta in Portland, I think we do have the best race car right now and if the races don't always play out the way they are at the moment, then I think we can use that energy advantage,” Dennis, who improved from 11th place to his fifth podium finish this season, said. And though Cassidy has the momentum in the Gen3 model, third-place Dennis-a British driver who represents one of just two American-owned Formula E teams-said Saturday that he just might be the one to beat come June.
