Autosport Top 50 of 2023: #8 Nick Cassidy
Nick Cassidy’s impressive performances in the Formula E season put him in title contention, with the first three victories coming from eighth or lower on the grid, thanks to his optimization of Jaguar’s powertrain. Despite failing to score points on four occasions, Cassidy’s misfortune came at crucial moments, such as when Mitch Evans collided with his car in Rome, leaving him trailing Jake Dennis by 24 points heading into the final races in London. Despite inheriting pole position and remaining in the lead in London, contact with teammate Sebastien Buemi and a communication mix-up ultimately dashed Cassidy’s hopes of winning the championship. Throughout the season, Cassidy initially struggled to adapt to the new Gen3 car, resulting in a non-score in Diriyah 2 and a late start to his podium finishes. In the end, Cassidy finished 30 points behind Dennis in the standings, but his performances throughout the season made him a worthy title contender.
