Podcast: Dissecting Formula E’s New York chaos with Evans
Mitch Evans joins Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt to pick the bones from a dramatic double-header in Brooklyn, New York City last weekend
Mitch Evans joins Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt to pick the bones from a dramatic double-header in Brooklyn, New York City last weekend.
The Jaguar TCS Racing driver proffers his opinion on the controversial decision not to re-start the Saturday race after a localised cloudburst sent several cars, including the leader Nick Cassidy crashing off the track in a bizarre Takeshi’s Castle style ending to the race.
Evans kept himself in the title hunt with a third place in Sunday’s event but Jean-Eric Vergne’s non-score casts doubt on his credentials now of grabbing a third title.
The trio also look into the confusing penalty given to original Sunday pole-sitter Cassidy, the first win in 14 months for Antonio Felix da Costa and Evans’ energetic battle with Mercedes EQ’s Nyck de Vries.
A look into whether this was the last New York City event is also discussed, as is the upcoming London EPrix at ExCeL Arena where several track changes should spice up the racing and the title fight.
