The silver bullet signing that has launched Jaguar into title contention
It's taken a long time for Jaguar to reach the cusp of contending for championships in Formula E. But, after last season's challenge crumbled in Berlin, the team has been bolstered by a top-line arrival who has helped to end an unwanted 30-year wait
Jaguar Racing occupies unfamiliar territory in Formula E just now. It unpacks in Valencia for a double-header event at an off-kilter permanent circuit in the lead of the constructors’ points.
