DS Penske Deputy Team Principal Phil Charles has described the team’s first-ever 1-2 finish in Formula E as “a race day we will remember” after Max Guenther led Jean-Eric Vergne home in the Shanghai E-Prix.
The German driver secured his second win of the season, with teammate Vergne overcoming competitors to secure a historic result for the Franco-American team.
Charles’ strategic skills were instrumental in navigating the chaotic race, which resembled last year’s peloton-style event at the Shanghai International Circuit.
Guenther’s pole position start and eventual reclaiming of the lead showcased the team’s strength in the pack-style races where qualifying tends to be less critical.
With Guenther now fourth in the Drivers’ standings, just 14 points behind second place, Charles acknowledged the outstanding teamwork that contributed to the success.
