Formula E - Panasonic Jaguar Racing return to points scoring form in Berlin

Berlin, Germany, Saturday 19 May 2018: Panasonic #Jaguar #racing returned to the points today with a hard fought sixth place finish at the Berlin E-Prix at Tempelhof Airport circuit.

Before the race, #panasonicJaguarracing discovered #mitchevans was unable to provide radio feedback however he could still hear the team’s communications. Despite this, he brought his #Jaguar #itype2 home higher than his qualifying position of ninth to demonstrate his natural #racing ability and the strong team dynamic that exists between the driver and engineers.

Mitch and team mate #nelsonpiquetjr instantly gained places on the opening laps and settled into their race strategies on the notoriously hard temporary Templehof circuit. During one of the longest races of the championship, Mitch consistently matched the energy levels of the race leaders but was unable to break into the top five.

During the latter stages of the race Nelson’s smooth driving style and his ability to conserve energy was on full display. In the last five laps Nelson jumped from 13th to tenth in a series of skilful overtaking manoeuvres. As he battled for ninth on the last lap he overshot turn one and lost a number of places. He rejoined the circuit in 12th place a position he held to the finish.

Panasonic #Jaguar #racing now move on to Switzerland for the inaugural Zurich E-Prix, the tenth E-Prix of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, with Mitch sitting seventh and Nelson eighth.The British team retain fifth place in the teams standings.

James Barclay, Team Director, #panasonicJaguarracing: “After a tough day it is good to be leaving Berlin with a points finish but it could have been a better day for the team. Both Nelson and Mitch raced well and with just three remaining E-Prix this season the whole of #panasonicJaguarracing are determined to finish strongly.”
