Jake Dennis’ defence of the Formula E Drivers’ Championship failed to start how he would’ve liked, after a frustrating weekend
After winning the Season 9 race effortlessly in Mexico City, Dennis was confident heading into the first round of Season 10, despite knowing that it would be different from the previous year. The race marked the beginning of the Gen3 era, making it challenging to extract the maximum performance from the new cars. Despite this, Dennis managed to win the race by a significant margin of eight seconds. However, in the subsequent race, he made a crucial mistake and was shockingly eliminated in the group stage, starting the race from 14th on the grid. Overtaking was difficult due to the dusty track conditions, and although Dennis gained five positions in the opening laps, he couldn’t make further progress. He finished in ninth place, behind his Season 9 rivals. Consequently, he is now 26 points behind the current leader, Pascal Wehrlein. Dennis expressed disappointment but remains focused on the upcoming races in Saudi Arabia, aiming for a better outcome.
