Evans putting the past to bed to reignite title challenge

The past. What’s done is done. So, you move you.

Wise words for anyone, and they’ll definitely resonate with Mitch Evans after a second-rate start to his Formula E season.

In a championship as competitive as the all-electric single-seater category is, consistency is vital in mounting a strong title bid.

Evans has been a title contender the past two seasons. In that time, he has won just one race. It all comes down to scoring points at every race.

Then it’s easy to understand why the Kiwi might be feeling a bit blue after the opening round of the new year in Saudi Arabia.

A P10 and a non-points finish in the first two races has Evans languishing well down the championship standings.

Being blocked in qualifying, hitting the wall on a quali lap, and untimely safety cars did nothing to help Evans’ cause over the weekend.

It all just has him wanting to ditch the past and focus on the present.

“Put it to bed and come back stronger,” he said

“We were making good progress, gaining places but it was unfortunately one of those weekends that didn’t materialise or go our way.”

But Evans’ isn’t concerned. He shouldn’t be.

If the pain and heartbreak of the past two years have taught him anything, it’s you should never lose faith in yourself.

“I do believe in myself,” he said earlier this year. “I’m sure I’ve shown that over the last few years.

“I am a real contender, a real threat, but there’s is a lot of things in the background that have stopped me from achieving a championship.”

Jaguar’s team boss James Barclay is also optimistic following the Saudi slump.

“We’ve got to stay strong as a team, these weekends are going to happen through the year and it’s all about how we bounce back,” Barclay told The-Race.

There are still 14 races left to run this year. That’s 14 opportunities to amend for Saudi Arabia.

And you can guarantee Evans will be up for the challenge at every single one of them.
