News Highlights

  • Mitch Evans won both races in a double-header weekend in Rome
  • Sam Bird gave an impressive performance before a collision forced him to retire
  • Jaguar TCS Racing positioned fifth in the teams’ standings

Mitch Evans makes history for Jaguar TCS Racing. Having said that, Evans became the first driver to win both races in a double-header weekend in Rome. Besides that, he is the only third driver in Formula E history to win an E-Prix on two consecutive days.


“A double win for Jaguar TCS Racing in Rome. Weekends like this are incredibly hard to achieve but it’s down to the huge effort from all of the team to deliver this historic weekend for Jaguar. Rome has been kind to us with five podiums and three wins in three years and it’s great to have our season back on track after such a strong performance from Mitch and the team. We know how competitive this championship is so we’ll take this momentum forward from Rome, keep working hard, and keep building on our championship in Monaco,” as commented by James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal. 


Furthermore, both Mitch Evans and Sam Bird achieved a fourth and fifth position on the grid respectively after a successful qualifying session that saw both drivers compete with each other in the quarter-final duel. During the first ten minutes of the race, Mitch Evans overtook Jake Dennis thereby moving to a podium position. Moving on, he even overtook André Lotterer and Jean- Éric Vergne with an aim to take the lead of the Rome E-Prix.


“This weekend has been a dream. I was hoping to come to Rome and get some solid points but a double win is just incredible. Yesterday was amazing but I knew it would be really hard to repeat again today as these double-headers can be tricky. The Jaguar I-TYPE 5 has been just perfect. This is our third win here now and I’m going to take this incredible feeling and momentum into Monaco. It is time to celebrate!” as commented by Mitch Evans, Jaguar TCS Racing driver #9.


Sam Bird, on the other hand, showed the exceptional pace of the Jaguar I-TYPE 5 before a collision while battling for position with Nick Cassidy forced him to retire in the final lap of the race. The sixth round of the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will take place on the iconic streets of Monte Carlo, Monaco on 30 April 2022. 

“Amazing weekend for the team. To come away with two wins with Mitch is absolutely unbelievable. The race car was fantastic, and Jaguar TCS Racing did a stunning job in the break to transform what was a difficult start into a winning formula. Congratulations to every team member involved and we look forward to Monaco,” as commented by Sam Bird, Jaguar TCS Racing driver #10.
