Formula E in Paris - Audi drivers brave April weather
Press release available only in original language.
Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler is in the center of the battle to win both titles in Formula E. At the spectacular E-Prix in the French capital Paris, #danielabt and #lucasdigrassi finished in 3rd and 4th place. #robinfrijns celebrated his first win in the electric #racing series in the Audi e-tron FE05 fielded by the Audi customer team Envision Virgin #racing.
Eight races, eight different winners: The ABB FIA Formula E Championship remains unpredictable and spectacular. In Paris, capricious April weather added even more drama to the gripping fight for the title. The conditions changed between sun, rain and even hail during the race on the narrow street circuit around the famous Invalides. #danielabt and #lucasdigrassi kept their cool under the extremely difficult conditions. Taking up the race from seventh and eighth on the grid respectively, they ultimately finished in 3rd and 4th place.
“That was an incredible race,” said #danielabt after claiming his second podium result of the season. “After a strong start with great fights, I felt I could win today. But then a shower came and after that things turned chaotic. I could hardly see through my visor. The car was floating and I had zero grip. So I told myself not to do anything stupid and just bring the car home. This podium is crucial, we need these points.”
His teammate #lucasdigrassi was also pleased: “From eighth to fourth place – it was a good race. The conditions were incredibly difficult, but we earned plenty of points. I’m now fourth in the championship. We're catching up. Thanks to Audi and the entire team for a great job today. I'm now looking forward to the next race in Monaco.”
