New York City, United States of America, 11 July 2021 – Jaguar Racing driver, Sam Bird, created history by winning the ABB New York City E-Prix for the third time in a lights-to-flag victory. The Brit is the only driver to have won three times at the same circuit in Formula E history and retakes the lead of the drivers' world championship.

For the first time in the team's Formula E history, Jaguar Racing locked-out the front row with Sam Bird on Pole and Mitch Evans in second after both drivers made it into Super Pole on the streets of Brooklyn. After crashing in Free Practice yesterday, Bird's mechanics and engineers faced a race against time to rebuild his Jaguar I-TYPE 5. The Brit rewarded the team with 29 points out of a possible 30 today by also topping Qualifying.

A potential double-podium finish evaporated when Mitch Evans, defending from Envision Virgin Racing's Nick Cassidy, clipped the wall in the final couple of minutes of the race and was forced to limp the car home in thirteenth.

Sam Bird is back at the top of the Drivers' Standings, while teammate Mitch Evans is now eighth. Jaguar Racing are third in the Teams' Standings, just five points behind Envision Virgin Racing with four rounds of the championship remaining
