Da Costa: No penalty for Rowland’s Formula E Tokyo defence "sucks"
Portuguese driver Antonio Felix da Costa was running third in the final laps of Formula E’s first race in Japan, after climbing from eighth on the grid and challenging the long-time leader Oliver Rowland. Da Costa tried to pass Rowland on the outside in Turn 15 but had to brake to avoid hitting the wall. Despite no contact between them, the incident was investigated by the stewards. Da Costa expressed disappointment with the situation and believed he could have battled for the win if he had passed Rowland. Ultimately, da Costa finished fourth, but viewed it as progress following a challenging start to the season.
