Mitch Evans’ London nightmares continued in the first race of Formula E’s London E-Prix, following a dream pole.
Mitch Evans attributed the failure of his opening race in Formula E’s London E-Prix to mistiming his first Attack Mode, which left him trapped behind David Beckmann.
Starting from pole position, the Jaguar driver initially led the race but was eventually passed by Nyck de Vries and Pascal Wehrlein.
Both de Vries and Wehrlein managed to overtake Evans by using their Attack Mode before him, taking advantage of Evans’ delayed activation. This caused Evans to fall behind Beckmann, resulting in a loss of crucial time.
Evans’ race continued to unravel after being spun by Dan Ticktum, ultimately finishing in 10th place, while his teammate Nick Cassidy secured the victory.
Reflecting on the strategy, Evans admitted that they deviated from their original plan and stated that the mistimed Attack Mode decision significantly impacted the outcome of the race.
