              Took A Double

              Points Finish at
              the Mexico

              City E-Prix






              The ABB FIA Formula E World
              Championship got underway on Saturday
              at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez,
              located within the Magdalena Mixhuca
              park in the northeast of Mexico City.


              The  10th  season  of  the  all-elect-
              ric  single-seater  championship
              started well for DS Automobiles
              and  its  partner  PENSKE
              AUTOSPORT,  with  two  cars
              in  the  points  that  allowed
              the   French   premium
              constructor  to  occupy
              joint fourth place in the                                                                          39
              provisional   teams’
              standings.














               It is clear to see too that there is a very good feeling within the team

                Jean-Eric Vergne, 2018 and 2019 Formula E champion, “On the whole, I’m really satisfied with the level of performance we showed and it was clearly a good
               improvement compared to the start of last season. It is a shame that a few details stopped me from doing better in qualifying, because I had a good race
               pace. At the end of the race, I was considerably quicker than Mitch Evans, but it was impossible to pass him as the grip was very limited off the racing line.
               Nonetheless, we gained four places by using the strategy and attack modes well and we had one of the most competitive cars out there in terms of race pace.
               It is clear to see too that there is a very good feeling within the team. That is all really positive and it bodes well for the future. The goal in Diriyah will be to do
               better in qualifying, but with the hard work taking place within the team and the current dynamic, I’m feeling quite confident.”





                The team placed two cars inside the points

                 Stoffel Vandoorne, 2022 Formula E champion, “For the first race of this new season, I didn’t think it was so bad. There have been a few changes within the
                team, and from my point of view, it was the first time that I had worked with my new engineer. The most important thing was to have a clean weekend
                without any major mistakes, and that is what we did. The team placed two cars inside the points, which shows the progress made since last year. However,
                what really makes me happy is to see the potential of the car and the team. It’s clear that we want to bring home better results than we did today, but we’ve
                got all the tools at our disposal to do that.”
