Frijns and Cassidy "were almost killing each other” with Diriyah E-Prix pace
Envision driver Robin Frijns finished just over one second behind Nick Cassidy at the chequered flag, after shadowing the new championship leader for most of the race. Frijns initially took the lead from Oliver Rowland at the start and led for the first four laps before activating his first Attack Mode. Unable to regain the lead after Cassidy used both of his activations, Frijns and Cassidy were well ahead of the rest of the pack, with a lead of over six seconds at one point. Despite their intense battle, Frijns admitted that Cassidy was stronger and had a slight edge. Cassidy, on the other hand, had to conserve energy in the latter stages of the race, allowing Frijns and Rowland to close in on him. Cassidy now leads the championship standings by 19 points, and he is thrilled with his performance so far, considering that he had never achieved podium finishes in Mexico or Saudi Arabia before. He believes that he was the fastest driver in the race and enjoyed leading for a prolonged period.
