Porsche narrowly misses first podium of the season
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Stuttgart. In the second night race at the season-opener of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in #diriyah, Saudi Arabia, Porsche narrowly missed out on claiming its first podium result. At the wheel of the No. 36 Porsche 99X Electric, #andrelotterer secured a strong fourth place for the #tagheuerporscheformulaeteam. Finishing ninth in the No. 94 car, #pascalwehrlein also earned world championship points. After an accident towards the end, the race finished behind the new Formula E safety car, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S.
Race 2
Thanks to a good qualifying performance, #andrelotterer started the race from the fifth grid spot, on the 2.495-kilometre racetrack near the capital Riyadh. In his Porsche 99X Electric, André drove with the leading pack over the entire distance, advanced to fourth place in the final spurt and thus laid the foundation for a podium finish. However, with just several minutes of #racing left, a competitor’s accident saw the Porsche Taycan Turbo S safety car deployed, thwarting Lotterer’s chance of making a decisive move. The race was not restarted. #pascalwehrlein took off from P11 and drove a solid race up to ninth place.
Comments on the #diriyah E-Prix, Race 2
Amiel Lindesay, Head of Operations Formula E: “The team worked hard during the night to sort out the issues from race 1. They did a great job. Pascal impressed with a top time in the third free practice session and André again secured a good grid spot in qualifying. But then the safety car threw a spanner in the works. Still, it was a great turnaround after the hard yards we suffered yesterday.”
André Lotterer, Porsche works driver (#36): “Though we earned important points for fourth place, I’m leaving #diriyah with mixed feelings. A podium result would have been possible today. After the experiences from race 1, I tried to be a bit more conservative with the energy. I was overtaken by two cars but still managed to establish a good position for the final phase. Still, fourth is a good result and it makes us confident for the next race in Mexico.”
Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche works driver (#94): “After my top time in the last free practice, I’d expected a bit more in qualifying. But the track conditions change quickly here and somehow we didn’t manage to adapt well enough. My pace was good in the race, but the safety car at the end prevented me from overtaking. Still, we learned a lot this weekend and I’m confident that we can show our full potential in Mexico.”
Next up
The next race for the #tagheuerporscheformulaeteam is on 12 February with the Mexico City E-Prix, the 3rd round of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Porsche in Formula E
In 2021/2022, the #tagheuerporscheformulaeteam contests its third Formula E season with the Porsche 99X Electric. At the debut race in November 2019, #andrelotterer scored a commendable second place at the season-opening race in #diriyah: a dream start and proof that with the Porsche 99X Electric, Porsche had a competitive vehicle right from the outset. Last season, #pascalwehrlein claimed pole position in Mexico City. Two podium results followed with Wehrlein finishing third in Rome and Lotterer securing second in Valencia. Formula E is the world’s first fully-electric #racing series and, as an accelerator for innovative and sustainable mobility technologies, it has brought thrilling motorsport to #people living in major cities since 2014. With the all-electric Taycan Turbo S, Porsche supplies the safety car this season, underlining the importance of Formula E for Porsche Motorsport.
