Dan Ticktum is a Formula E race winner at last, marking a major achievement in the British driver’s career.
Dan Ticktum expressed his thoughts on critics who directed “hate” towards him during his career as he celebrated his emotional first Formula E victory in the Jakarta E-Prix. The Cupra Kiro driver, starting in fifth place, remained in the leading group throughout the race, benefiting from Jake Dennis and Nyck de Vries encountering major issues. Taking the lead unexpectedly in the final laps, Ticktum demonstrated flawless control to clinch his inaugural triumph in the electric series. This triumph was a poignant moment for the ex-Red Bull protege who faced severe criticism and hostility after an incident that led to a temporary ban in motorsport at the age of 16. Despite experiencing challenges, Ticktum, now 26, has been showcasing his exceptional talent, progressing from Formula 2 to Formula E after being part of Red Bull’s and Williams’ junior programs. In his post-race remarks, Ticktum candidly discussed filtering his words due to criticism he has received but underlined his resilience in battling through tough times and expressed satisfaction with his current Formula E season’s performance.
