Mitch Evans is keeping as much weight off his shoulders as possible in the 2024 Formula E title fight.
Mitch Evans has decided to put less pressure on himself to win the Formula E drivers’ championship this season after feeling really disappointed about falling short in 2023. Despite entering the final four rounds as the title outsider, his recent impressive results, including two wins in the last five races, have propelled him to third in the standings, just 35 points behind his team-mate and championship leader Nick Cassidy. The sense of deja vu for Evans comes from starting the season below-par but now finding himself in title contention again at the critical stage. The painful memory of missing out on the title last year due to the incident in Rome, where he collided with Cassidy, still lingers in his mind, causing him to keep the pressure off this year. Even though he acknowledges the uphill battle, with Portland and London races ahead, Evans is approaching the challenges with a sense of calmness, understanding that he has very little to lose and hoping for a strong finish to the season.
