A GAMBLE IN MEXICO CITY
11-12 February 2022, Mexico City, Mexico
Round 03
– Alexander Sims: Qualifying – 13 / Race – DNF / Points – 0
– Oliver Rowland: Qualifying – 16 / Race – 16 / Points – 0
The Mexico E-Prix’s two free practice sessions saw Oliver Rowland set 15th and 8th fastest laps, respectively, and Alexander Sims the 19th and 17th. Later the same day, the pair headed out for qualifying, which saw Alex miss out on the Duels by just 0.03 seconds. Oliver, who made it through to both of the Duels in Saudi Arabia also had to sit out the new knock-out event this time round. While the race ended early for Sims, who touched the wall, Oliver’s team took a gamble with energy consumption and the Brit pushed heroically through the pack to climb as high as 8th. However, the aggressive strategy didn’t pay off, when the leader forced an extra lap, and he dropped back to 16th before the chequered flag.
