NEOM McLaren has confirmed that Sam Bird will return from injury for this weekend’s Shanghai E-Prix. Bird broke a bone in his left hand during practice for the Monaco E-Prix, missing that race and the two following it in Berlin. He has undergone successful surgery three weeks ago and has been preparing in McLaren’s simulator. McLaren team principal Ian James expressed his delight at having Sam back on track and stated their confidence in his readiness for the Shanghai E-Prix. Bird has shown dedication to his recovery and has already tasted victory this year at the Sao Paulo E-Prix. Despite missing several races this season, the Formula E veteran’s return is highly anticipated.
