How Cassidy earned 'Big Cat' bragging rights in tight Monaco duel
A Jaguar powertrain was once again the package to have in Monaco, and Envision Racing's Nick Cassidy put it to good use in beating the works machine of Mitch Evans to victory. His finely-judged drive from ninth puts the Kiwi atop the points standings in what is shaping up to be an engrossing battle between the two compatriots, amid another tough weekend for Porsche
The visit to Monaco marked the beginning to the second half of the 2023 Formula E campaign and firmly signified the emergence of new title favourites in this year’s championship battle. Nick Cassidy and Envision Racing arrived in the Principality on a high having taken victory last time out in Berlin, but their success in Monte Carlo was even sweeter and has launched both into the lead of the drivers’ and teams’ championships.
Cassidy’s maiden success in Monaco was the culmination of a remarkable turnaround over the course of the day. The Kiwi had struggled in both of Saturday morning’s practice sessions, finishing as the second-slowest runner in each and complaining of a vibration under braking. Changes were made ahead of qualifying and, while there was a significant improvement in performance, Cassidy missed out on a duel spot – a poor final sector on his fastest attempt proving pivotal and which he blamed on being held up by the Maserati MSG of Maximilian Guenther.
