In the 2023 Extreme E season, Andretti Altawkilat faced challenges and made limited final appearances, withdrawing from the season finale due to a crash. However, in the 2024 campaign, the team saw significant improvements with three podium finishes and a Redemption Race win in Saudi Arabia. Team principal Roger Griffiths attributes their success to driver lineup consistency, with Timmy Hansen and Catie Munnings working well together. The team’s focus has been on driver preparation and adapting to different racing conditions rather than extensive testing of the Odyssey 21 car. Andretti’s strong understanding of the car has allowed them to be adaptable and avoid incidents, contributing to their improved performance. Despite being one of the in-form teams, Griffiths acknowledges the challenge of winning again, particularly with current leaders E.ON Next Veloce Racing showcasing strong performances. To further improve, Griffiths considers giving Munnings more seat time across other categories as a potential strategy for success.
