Starting from Pole Position, Wehrlein executed a flawless strategy, capitalising on a Full Course Yellow neutralisation deployed for the recovery of Lucas di Grassi’s Lola Yamaha ABT car. The timedinterruption allowed the German driver to complete his mandatory PIT BOOST stop efficiently and retain control of the race. Mitch Evans sought to challenge from third early on, despite the Porsche duo of Wehrlein and Nico Mueller working in tandem ahead. Jaguar TCS Racing adjusted Evans’ strategy, using an earlyATTACK MODE deployment and PIT BOOST stop to undercut Mueller – forcing race leader Wehrlein to respond. However, the timing of the Full Course Yellow halted Evans’ charge, leaving the […]

The title standings shifted repeatedly throughout the race as Wehrlein defended against pressure from Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans and Andretti’s Jake Dennis. Strategic moves on Lap 27 reshuffled the order afterWehrlein’s engineer instructed him to let a faster Sébastien Buemi (Envision Racing) pass. A squeeze from da Costa allowed Dennis to overtake for eighth during his first ATTACK MODE, briefly moving Dennis to the top of the virtual standings as Wehrlein dropped to 12th. On Lap 31, contact at Turn 16 between Wehrlein and Envision Racing’s Joel Eriksson forced Wehrlein furtherdown the field. The resulting incident caused race-ending damage to Dennis’s car, ending his title bid. Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) ran fourth but needed a win to claim the Drivers’ title. With Barnard and the two Mahindras opening up a […]
