Mitch Evans believes the lack of investigations by the FIA stewards is making drivers race more aggressively.
Mitch Evans expressed his belief that the FIA stewards’ decision not to investigate incidents like the one he had with Jean-Eric Vergne in Diriyah is promoting aggressive driving behavior. The incidents between Evans and Vergne at the Diriyah double-header left both Evans and the Jaguar team surprised as the FIA chose not to investigate Vergne’s questionable moves. One incident involved Vergne pushing Evans into the wall after exiting the Attack Mode activation loop, and another incident occurred on the final lap when Vergne made a double move under braking, causing Evans to lose positions. Evans emphasized the need for the FIA to address such incidents and investigate them to avoid encouraging unfair and aggressive racing behavior in Formula E. He highlighted that the lack of investigation sets a wrong precedent and may lead drivers to believe they can get away with such moves, potentially compromising the safety and fairness of racing. Additionally, Evans pointed out that clean and fair racing should be the standard, and addressing incidents promptly is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the sport.
