Nissan’s Oliver Rowland was philosophical about his final lap disaster that robbed him of would have been a second victory
The Yorkshireman was leading on the final lap before a loss of energy left him coasting, handing the win to Tag Heuer Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein. Rowland explained that the issue was caused by a glitch in the car that miscalculated his remaining laps. It was a software procedure that was missed on the grid, resulting in him having one lap less for the rest of the race. Despite the energy troubles, Rowland managed to secure victory in race one after a late disqualification handed him his fourth straight podium finish of the season. Rowland now finds himself firmly in the race for the Drivers’ Championship and is starting to believe in his title credentials. After a successful weekend, Rowland admits that the team’s performance has taken him by surprise, acknowledging that there is still work to be done but they are definitely in contention for the championship.
