Ian James, Team Principal:
“It's great being in #newyork for two rounds of this championship. #newyork embodies everything you would expect from a host city to a Formula E event.
Today, however, has been a massively disappointing day for the whole team. We had a solid start to the weekend, showing good pace in the practice sessions. However, we put ourselves on the back foot through our qualifying performance, ultimately starting in P18 and P21. From there on you know it is going to be difficult to recover and score those – especially after the last couple of races - sought-after points.
Early damage for Nyck meant his race was compromised from the off, hampering his ability to fight his way to the front of the field. For Stoffel, a similar scenario played out when he made contact and had to retire from the race with a puncture.
All of this is particularly painful as we are starting to lose ground in both the teams' and drivers' championship. We came to #newyork as the leaders in the teams' standings – albeit with a tiny gap to our competitors. But, after having finished the first race here, we find ourselves in fourth position in the standings. It is another race in which we haven’t been able to optimise our performance; this is not meeting our expectations.
We will need to set it right tomorrow as it’s still all to play for. I’m glad we get a shot at it again in a second race here in NYC.”
