Comments on the Berlin E-Prix, Race 9
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E: “That was an exceptionally thrilling first race. We earned important points with 5th and 6th place. As far as the results are concerned, it’s still not what we’d envisaged. We lost the battle for victory or a podium spot in the last two or three laps. That’s disappointing. But overall, today was a good day. Tomorrow we’ll attempt to do better and take back the lead in the drivers’ championship. A huge thank you to our team, who worked overnight to put Pascal’s car back on the track, ready to race after an incident in practice.”
Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche works driver (#94): “What an eventful race with a lot of contact. You have to position yourself well to get through unscathed. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. We were at the front for a long stretch, but we didn’t have the pace today to put the leaders under pressure all the way to the flag. Now we’re doing our best to do better tomorrow.”
António Félix da Costa, Porsche works driver (#13): I’m not entirely satisfied. That was a wild race. Especially towards the end, when a podium was definitely still within reach, but a few critical moments just didn’t end well for me. Tomorrow is a new day with a new opportunity.”
