After a challenging Formula E season opener in December, Andretti had a seemingly tough weekend with two retirements and no points on the board, leaving little to celebrate on paper. However, despite the unfavorable race results, the team had a decent overall performance and aims to bounce back to the front of the field after losing the drivers’ title crown last season. Driver Jake Dennis showed promising signs of returning to form, expressing confidence in the team’s pace and performance improvements compared to the previous season. Dennis’s strong showing in practice sessions and qualifying, where he narrowly missed out on pole position, indicated a competitive edge that unfortunately did not translate into race success due to an unknown failure forcing his retirement. While the exact cause of the failure remains undisclosed by Porsche, Dennis remains upbeat about the team’s potential and hopes to avoid similar setbacks in future races. Overall, the weekend was seen as a step in the right direction for Andretti, despite the final race result not reflecting the team’s improved performance and potential for success in the upcoming season.
