VALENCIA, Spain. ROKiT Venturi Racing's #edoardomortara recorded the fastest time of the week during the final session at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, #valencia as the ABB FIA #formulae World Championship’s official pre-season #test drew to a close. Mortara set a lap time of 1m25.763s mid-way through the session, besting the previous benchmark set by Mercedes-EQ Formula E's Stoffel Vandoorne on Tuesday by almost a second.
DS TECHEETAH's double champion Jean-Éric Vergne placed the next best time of the week, just 0.041 seconds back, while another Mercedes-EQ powertrain closed out the top three times of the week, with Vandoorne’s Silver Arrow 02 also within a tenth of-a-second. A late lap from Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans saw the Kiwi place fourth, and another last-minute effort from TAG Heuer Porsche #formulae Team's Pascal Wehrlein hurled the German up the order into fifth spot.
Reigning champion Nyck de Vries followed next, with the Envision #racing pair of Nick Cassidy and Robin Frijns also within the 1m25s mark. The top 17 drivers recorded times faster than Antonio Félix da Costa’s pole position qualifying lap from last season. Over the week, ABB #formulae teams and drivers racked up more than 4,100 laps, totalling almost 14,000km of the #valencia circuit as the Season 8 ABB #formulae cars hit the track for their only #test session. Season 8 of the ABB FIA #formulae World Championship will start in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia on 28 and 29 January 2022, as the first of 16 races in 12 locations including Jakarta, Vancouver, Mexico City and London before concluding in South Korea in August.
