Cassidy snatches podium in second Misano E-Prix

Nick Cassidy has bounced back from Saturday’s DNF to finish third in this morning’s Misano E-Prix in Italy.

The Kiwi Jaguar TCS Racing driver sat fifth entering the final circuit but gained a place when leader Oliver Rowland ran out of energy due to a technical problem with his onboard lap counter.

Cassidy then challenged Abt’s Nico Muller for the final podium step, getting a clean run through the final turn and, with the assistance of draft, pulled to the inside to snatch the position on the line with an advantage of just 0.05 seconds.

“I’m happy with the result today,” said Cassidy. “It has been tough three races for me, so I’m really pleased to be back on the podium.

“The late battle with Nico made for a close finish. Thank you to all of the team, and now we turn our focus on Monaco.”

Mitch Evans, who had started on pole for the opening race, could only manage 15th in qualifying for Sunday’s outing. He had climbed to 11th when a technical issue brought his Jaguar I-Type 6 to a stop on track.

He was able to resume under his own power after resetting his car, returning well off the pace before the team retired the car on the final lap.

“Another frustrating day for me,” said the 102-race veteran. “I’d made good progress up into P11 and was feeling confident we could end up within the points, but a technical problem with the car ruined my chances, and ultimately, we retired the car in the final stages of the race.

“Congratulations to Nick and his side of the garage for their podium. We now look to Monaco, a home race for me, so hoping we can have a more positive race.”

The pace in Sunday’s outing was noticeably quicker than Saturday’s, where cars often ran three or four wide.

Rowland hit the front mid-race, having started 10th, and pulled away from the field with Pascal Wehrlein on his tail.

Defending Champion Jake Dennis was left fending off Muller, which brought Cassidy, who had started eighth after having his quarter-final duel winning time deleted for a track limit infringement, into contention for the podium.

Cassidy, who had also led early following a solid start from eighth before dropping as low as seventh, pounced on the run to the line for third.

Wehrlein held off Dennis for the win to return to the top of the Driver’s Championship. Dennis sits second following his runner-up result, with Rowland holding third.

Cassidy is the best Kiwi, in fourth place, 13 points behind the championship lead, while Evans is seventh, 35 points adrift of the top spot.

Jaguar TCS Racing continues to lead the Team’s Championship, holding a 16-point advantage over Andretti Formula E.

The Formula E World Championship returns for the Monaco E-Prix on April 27.
