Formula E 2024 🇲🇽 Mexico City E-Prix (01/16)

WEHRLEIN WINS SEASON OPENER

Pascal Wehrlein Clinches Victory in 2024 Mexico City E-Prix

A stellar day unfolded at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez as Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein secured both the pole position in the Qualifying final and later orchestrated a flawless strategy to claim victory in the first race of the 2024 Formula E season.

In front of an enthusiastic crowd and under delightful weather conditions, the German driver showcased his speed, completing 35 laps to secure his second win on the Mexico City track; the first being in 2022.

While today's race saw several retirements, including Sérgio Sette Camara, Lucas Di Grassi, António Félix Acosta, and Robin Frijns, the highlight was the intense battle at the front between Wehrlein and Swiss driver Sebastien Buemi. Despite Buemi's efforts, he had to settle for the second spot on the podium.

Completing the podium was New Zealand's Nick Cassidy, driving the Jaguar with the number 37, kicking off his first year with the team on a positive note.

Other notable performances included Max Gunther (Maserati), Mitch Evans (Jaguar), and Jean-Érick Vergne (DS Penske).

As the curtain falls on the Formula E debut for 2024 in Mexico, the championship now heads for a long journey to Saudi Arabia for a double-header event.
