After back-to-back pole positions for the Monaco E-Prix, hopes of victory were squandered in each race for Dan Ticktum, which left him understandably frustrated.
Dan Ticktum experienced frustration as hopes of victory were dashed in both races of the Monaco E-Prix despite his back-to-back pole positions. In the first race, he settled for third place after contact with Antonio Felix da Costa led to a disputed penalty, while in Race 2, he struggled with pace and received a penalty for speeding under the Full Course Yellow.
However, Ticktum found positives in his qualifying performance, describing it as some of the best driving in his career and expressing satisfaction with the steps he had taken. Despite his dissatisfaction with the current state of racing in the FE championship, he praised his team for providing him with an outstanding car over the weekend.
Looking ahead, Ticktum acknowledged this season as a “write-off” but remains hopeful for better results in the remaining races. He sees Gen4 regulations as a chance to reset and compete more on merit rather than strategy, expressing confidence in the competitiveness of Cupra Kiro with a potential Porsche powertrain.
Ticktum is optimistic about the future and believes that with improved strategy and a competitive car, he has the potential to contend for the championship in upcoming seasons.
