| After a long break, Porsche has returned to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a strong team performance. At a gripping São Paulo E-Prix, three Porsche 99X Electric finished in the top six. As the best Porsche driver, Pascal Wehrlein took his second pole position of the season and crossed the finish line in fourth place. His TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team moved up to second in the team classification. |
Stuttgart. In temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius, Pascal Wehrlein started the 34-lap race on the fast São Paulo Street Circuit from pole position. Fans at the 2.933-kilometre circuit witnessed numerous lead changes and spectacular overtaking manoeuvres. The Porsche works driver was in the leading group throughout the race and only just missed out on the podium in the closing laps. António Félix da Costa, his teammate from the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, put on a strong show in Brazil: after a difficult start to the season, he finished sixth and scored his first championship points of 2024.
Behind Pascal Wehrlein, Jake Dennis from the Porsche customer team Andretti Formula E finished fifth. Norman Nato (FRA) took the flag in 18th place at the helm of the second Porsche 99X Electric from US motorsport legend Michael Andretti's racing team.
With 61 points, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team has advanced to second place in the team classification. Jaguar is still at the top with 96 points. Andretti Formula E follows in fifth place with 47 points. In the drivers' standings, Pascal Wehrlein ranks second with 53 points, just four points behind leader Nick Cassidy (NZL). Jake Dennis lies in fifth place with 38 points, while his teammate Norman Nato is in 13th place with nine points. After scoring eight points in São Paulo, António Félix da Costa joins the Season 10 scoreboard for the first time in 15th place.
Comments on the São Paulo E-Prix, Race 4
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E: "All in all, it was a good weekend for us in extreme conditions. Pascal put in a very strong qualifying performance and was rewarded with his second pole of the season. Nevertheless, we can't be completely satisfied because we could've done a lot more today. In the opening stages of the race, we quickly had both cars in the top four, but when overtaking became increasingly difficult due to the safety car phases, we unfortunately just weren't there. We're happy to secure the points. But now, it's time to start preparing for Tokyo, where we'll try to do it all better."
Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche works driver (#94): "Overall, it was a positive weekend with pole position. However, I'm not completely satisfied with how the race went. We failed to push further forward in the middle of the race. After the safety car phases, it was even more difficult to overtake. That's when I lost a potential podium finish. More would've been possible for us today. But we simply didn't make the most of our opportunities."
António Félix da Costa, Porsche works driver (#13): "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with the outcome of the race. A podium was on the cards for us today. In the final phase, we didn't seem to have everything one hundred per cent together. We can still improve as a team. Personally, I came to São Paulo determined to deliver a solid performance. In the race, we matched the pace of the fastest drivers and that's something we can build on."
Next up
The next event for Porsche and Andretti Formula E is round 5 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on 30th March hosted by Tokyo for the first time.
