P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Mitch Evans has retired from two of the last four races and is yet to score a point since winning the season-opener in São Paulo from last on the grid.
Mitch Evans believes that the Formula E Jeddah E-Prix revealed some of Jaguar’s current issues and served as a “wake-up call.” Despite his record-breaking win from the last grid position in the São Paulo season opener, Jaguar’s campaign has been challenging, with only 35 points after four races, placing them seventh in the teams’ championship. Nissan already leads by 32 points, leaving both Evans and Nick Cassidy seeking solutions. The team’s performance has declined this season after being dominant in the past, highlighting potential flaws in the Gen3 Evo development. Qualifying struggles and mechanical problems, such as brake-by-wire failures, have become more common, surprising for the typically reliable British manufacturer. Evans acknowledges the need for improvement in various areas and hopes for stronger showings in future races. Despite the tough start, Jaguar now has an extended break before the Miami E-Prix to address their issues and make necessary improvements, although the extent of progress remains uncertain.
