- 6 years ago
"Panasonic Jaguar racing were once again at the heart of the action in the latest round of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship as the team’s record of scoring points in each round of the 2017/18 season continued.
In a season of firsts, Mitch delivered the team’s highest ever starting position of third place with team-mate Nelson starting 13th on the grid.
Both Nelson and Mitch made solid starts and managed the energy of their Jaguar’s efficiently. As the half way point of the race approached, Nelson pitted first for the team, but encountered difficulties with his seatbelts as he pulled away from the garage, he retired shortly after.
Following a successful car change on lap 16, Mitch was in the midst of a nail-biting battle for a podium and possible win. While running as high as second, the Kiwi driver was battling hard with Sam Bird for the win. On lap 29 Mitch attacked into turn 9 but the Virgin driver defended the inside and he lost momentum depleting his energy reserves. He eventually crossed the line in ninth.
As the British team move on to Paris for the next round of the ABB FIA Formula E Nelson sits sixth in the Championship with Mitch seventh. "
