Nissan Formula E Team Concludes Season 10 with a Victory

Race Overview

As the successful aftermath of a race that required inexorable levels of determination, Oliver Rowland claimed victory as the winner scudded skillfully in the ultimate 16^th round at the London E-Prix.

Previous Challenges

This victory came as a sigh of relief after a tumultuous round the previous Saturday, where both Rowland and Sacha Fenestraz failed to secure points due to certain preposterous events and penalties. As the race progressed into bewildering hubbub, Rowland maneuvered from ninth to fourth place, deftly aware of other drivers’ movements and the circumstances presented by the racetrack.

Strategic Maneuvers

Eventually, foreseeing the demand for Attack Mode by the leaders, Rowland drove the car with accurate judgment to counter all imperfections and achieved the zenith position.

Team Performance

The other driver, Sacha Fenestraz, also displayed commendable effort by finishing 15^th in a jammed field, concluding his second season with the hard-working Nissan Formula E convoy. Nissan concluded the adrenaline-pumping motorsport event by securing a final fourth place in Season 10’s Teams’ Championship with a score of 182 points. Rowland jumped to fourth in the Drivers’ Championship, while Fenestraz finished 17^th. An even better result was obtained at the Manufacturers’ Trophy, where they finished third.

Statements from the Team

Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team

“What an amazing way to finish the season! After a frustrating race on Saturday, where both drivers were involved in incidents and picked up penalties, we bounced back with an improved set-up and great pace from Oli to take the win on Sunday. The strategy was spot on to get up to fourth, and then he took advantage of incidents and the frontrunners needing to take Attack Mode to move into the lead.

He stayed calm and executed it perfectly to claim the win, making it an excellent end to a really strong season. Sacha also did a great job protecting his position against our most direct competitors and keeping them behind. To finish fourth in the Teams’ Championship and third in the manufacturers’ standings is a real positive, and we can be proud of our performance. It was also great to have Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida with us for this win, which made it even more special! This result will give us a boost heading into the off-season. We’ll look to keep pushing and improving ahead of next year, where we aim to challenge for both championships.”

“The perfect end to a fantastic season! I never expected to win the final round on Sunday. I got a great start and picked my moments in a crazy race. Once I got to fourth, I didn’t want to get too involved in the title fight, so I waited and hoped for something to happen, which it eventually did, and I managed to pick up the pieces to win the race. We should be very proud of our season; the target was to build as a team and we’ve achieved a lot. We’ve been consistently competitive, and it gives us a great platform for next year. Thanks to the whole crew for their work, and I’m looking forward to being back!”

Sacha Fenestraz, Driver, Nissan Formula E Team

“It hasn’t been an easy season, but I learned a lot from it, and it will make me stronger in the future. In Saturday’s race, we had really strong pace, but unfortunately, an incident meant we received a five-second penalty and dropped out of the top-10. A big shame for us as I think we deserved to finish in the points. Today was also challenging; it was tough to fight in the midfield on this track, and we weren’t able to move forwards. A big thanks to the team for all their hard work this season, and I’m looking forward to getting back on track and showing what I can do.”
