Evans: "Bizarre feeling" with steering to blame for slow pace in Mexico City E-Prix
At the Mexico ePrix, Jaguar Racing driver Mitch Evans showed strong pace initially but began to lose ground due to a steering issue, struggling for pace and balance with his car. Despite this, he finished in fifth place, more than seven seconds behind the car in front. Evans explained that his steering weight was unusually heavy, causing him to lock up on corners and have difficulty turning the wheel. He expressed frustration and annoyance but acknowledged that P5 was an acceptable result given the circumstances. His teammate, Nick Cassidy, finished in third place on his Jaguar debut, moving up one spot from his starting position. However, both drivers were penalized with a grid drop for a red flag infraction during practice, impacting their ability to fight for the win. Cassidy believed the penalty had a significant impact on the result but was still satisfied with the team’s performance.
