ROME: Mitch Evans has made history for Jaguar TCS Racing as the first driver to win both races in a double-header weekend in Rome.
Evans is only the third driver in Formula E history to win an E-Prix on two consecutive days. The Italian capital is turning into a second home for Mitch Evans who has now won three Rome E-Prix.
Evans now moves to fourth in the drivers’ standings, nine points behind the leader, while teammate Sam Bird sits in eleventh. Jaguar TCS Racing move to fifth in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship teams’ standings.
James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal, said: “A double win for Jaguar TCS Racing in Rome. Weekends like this are incredibly hard to achieve but it’s down to the huge effort from all of the team to deliver this historic weekend for Jaguar. Rome has been kind to us with five podiums and three wins in three years and it’s great to have our season back on track after such a strong performance from Mitch and the team. We know how competitive this championship is so we’ll take this momentum forward from Rome, keep working hard and keep building on our championship in Monaco.”
The sixth round of the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship takes to the streets in Monte Carlo on 30th April.
