Next event: Rounds 10 & 11 – New York City – 10-11 July 2021
ALEXANDER SIMS: “It’s been an eventful and enjoyable weekend; standard Formula E with highs and lows. It was a difficult start to Saturday with our technical issue in practice, but we recovered amazingly. To get fourth yesterday was incredible and a great reward for the effort that the whole team put in. Today was still good fun and was looking decent until the contact with Lotterer. It was a bit of a racing incident and eventually the damage sustained caused us to have to end our race. Overall, I enjoyed Puebla and I’m looking forward to New York already.”
ALEX LYNN: “It was pretty eventful, but a Formula E weekend wouldn’t be complete without some events! I think it’s been pretty positive overall; we got into Super Pole today, finished both races in the points and got a decent points haul. It was a shame we couldn’t start from third as I think we could really have challenged for the podium, but it was a solid weekend. The championship is still wide open and so I’m looking forward to New York. It’s a track I feel I excel at and I feel very at home there, so I’m super excited for the races and I think our car can go well there.”
DILBAGH GILL, TEAM PRINCIPAL: “We came here with the aim of getting both cars in the points and we did that yesterday, with Alexander just missing out on the podium, which was a brilliant result after the lack of practice he had during the morning. Alex picked up some more good points on Sunday after getting us into Super Pole for the fifth time this season. Overall it was a solid weekend and we look forward to the next race in New York in three weeks where we’ll be aiming for more points and podiums.”
