Sébastian Buemi made an excellent start to his 10th Formula E campaign, by claiming his 31st podium in the series
Sebastien Buemi surprised many with his strong performance in the first round of Season 10. Despite not being a favorite for the podium, he showed great pace throughout the weekend in Mexico City. After reaching the final of the duels, he settled for second place on the starting grid.
Buemi made a strong start to the race, briefly taking the lead when Pascal Wehrlein activated his Attack Modes. However, he couldn’t match Wehrlein’s pace and a mid-race mistake further hindered his chances of victory. Eventually, he finished in second place.
This result marks Buemi’s fourth podium in Mexico City and solidifies his position as a top contender. He jokingly referred to himself as a “veteran” due to his success at this venue.
Wehrlein and Jake Dennis were both investigated for alleged technical infractions, but no action was taken by the FIA. With this podium, Buemi now sits just nine rostrums behind Lucas di Grassi’s record of 40 top three finishes.
