Friends forming team-mate partnerships in racing can go one of two ways. Which way will Jaguar’s Formula E superteam of Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy go in 2024?
Motorsport often showcases both positive and negative aspects of partnerships between teammates. Examples of successful and mutually beneficial partnerships include Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn, Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve, and Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz. On the other hand, we’ve seen strained relationships like Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg or Villeneuve and Didier Pironi. In Formula E, there is now an intriguing friendship story as Nick Cassidy joins long-time buddy Mitch Evans at Jaguar TCS Racing. The two have known each other since childhood and previously shared a team in New Zealand. Despite a collision in Rome last year that affected their championship aspirations, they remain close friends. Cassidy has proven to be a thoughtful and eloquent speaker, showcasing a strong strategic and technical understanding of Gen3 races. However, Evans has been dominant in Formula E for seven seasons, winning nine E-Prix races. This dynamic could add an interesting twist to their partnership.
