Mitch Evans has faced major qualifying issues this season, but has started four of the last five Formula E races in Monaco no lower than eighth.
Mitch Evans is hopeful that this weekend’s Formula E double-header in Monaco will provide answers about his poor one-lap pace this season, a lingering unknown for the departing Jaguar driver. Despite historically being a strong qualifier, Evans has struggled with one-lap performance in 2026, highlighted by just one duel appearance and no points scored in the previous outing. With two victories in the first eight rounds and only three points behind Pascal Wehrlein in the drivers’ standings, Evans remains a contender for the championship but acknowledges that qualifying woes need solving for a true title challenge. His optimism lies in potentially resolving the issue at Circuit de Monaco, a track where he triumphed two years ago and has recently seen top-eight qualifications, boosting his confidence in overcoming his one-lap struggles. Crucial to his success in Monaco, understanding his lack of one-lap pace this season is paramount for Evans, emphasizing that the weekend will be crucial in gaining insights or resolving issues he has faced.
