Nick Cassidy continued his exceptional late-season Formula E performance by clinching victory in the first race of the London weekend, demonstrating his and Jaguar’s strong form.
In what turned out to be Cassidy’s second-to-last race with Jaguar due to his upcoming departure, he showcased his comfort with the car’s improvements, moving up to second place during the race.
Executing a strategic Pit Boost stop early on and taking advantage of clean air, Cassidy managed to overtake the leaders and eventually secured the lead after a well-timed maneuver against Nyck de Vries.
Despite a late safety car deployment following Dan Ticktum’s crash, Cassidy maintained his lead to claim his second consecutive win and Jaguar’s third consecutive victory.
Meanwhile, Cassidy’s teammate Mitch Evans faced challenges and frustration during the race, finishing in ninth place after a series of setbacks.
The podium was completed by De Vries and Wehrlein, as Stoffel Vandoorne impressed with a fourth-place finish for Maserati, ahead of Dennis, Vergne, and Mortara.
Additionally, Norman Nato achieved his third points finish of the season with a ninth-place result.
