Nick Cassidy finished eighth after starting down in P19 at the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix.
Nick Cassidy lost his lead in the drivers’ championship to Pascal Wehrlein after a disappointing Tokyo E-Prix, where he made up 11 places but faced setbacks. Despite a promising start in free practice and making it to the duels, Cassidy’s best lap was deleted, affecting his race. The FIA invalidated his final lap due to torque issues with the throttle pedal map, dropping him to P19 on the starting grid. However, Cassidy fought back to finish in eighth place, unable to prevent Wehrlein from taking the championship lead. Team Jaguar praised Cassidy’s performance and speed, aiming to carry the momentum to Misano for podium success. Meanwhile, Mitch Evans had a forgettable 100th Formula E race, facing penalties and setbacks resulting in a 15th place finish, vowing to bounce back stronger in the next race at Misano.
