This is an exciting weekend for everyone; Monaco is a famous racetrack which we hope to make new history at!”

“Monte Carlo is the ultimate venue to go racing. Formula E cars can overtake fairly easily around the famous streets and so the E-Prix usually gives a great spectacle with plenty of strategic intrigue. Tough on energy management, technically difficult for both drivers and engineers and very high-quality tarmac gives one of the biggest launches of the season when the lights go green. Traffic management is also critical along with Attack Mode timing, so communication between drivers and engineers is vital. If you pull all of that together, you get a great result in Monaco, and what a fantastic place to win if you can!”
