北京時(shí)間7月25日，NIO 333 EF車隊(duì)車手湯姆·布隆奎斯特 (Tom Blomqvist) 在排位賽中穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地跑完了一圈后，他以第14位的成績(jī)開始了雙賽周末的最后一場(chǎng)比賽。然而就像在前一天的首圈比賽一樣，發(fā)車后擁擠的車陣駛?cè)氲谝唤M狹窄彎道，湯姆不幸蹭到了護(hù)墻，導(dǎo)致他的88號(hào)NIO 333 FE 001賽車的前翼和輪胎損壞。車隊(duì)隨即安排他進(jìn)行了必要的進(jìn)站，并讓湯姆重新回到賽道以收集有價(jià)值的數(shù)據(jù)。最終湯姆在方格旗的揮動(dòng)下完成他了的比賽。

同為隊(duì)友和英國(guó)人的奧利弗·特維駕駛著8號(hào)NIO 333 FE 001賽車，在排位賽圈中也有令人鼓舞的飛馳圈成績(jī)，他在7號(hào)彎道沖過了賽車墻時(shí)正在。在今天下午的45分鐘+1圈的正賽中，奧利弗的發(fā)車很順利，避免了所有的事故，并以8個(gè)位置的提升，以第16名沖線，結(jié)束了此次FE倫敦站。經(jīng)過一系列賽后調(diào)查，其他車手受到處罰，最終，特維排名來到第14，完成了一場(chǎng)上升幅度達(dá)到最大的比賽，湯姆·布隆奎斯特則位列第19。

“在三練中努力爭(zhēng)取速度后，我在排位賽中努力推進(jìn)，不幸的是在第一節(jié)中撞墻，導(dǎo)致部件受損，使我們排在發(fā)車位的后面。正賽進(jìn)行得好多了。我們有更好的步伐并設(shè)法向前邁進(jìn)。雖然我們未能達(dá)到積分，但自昨天以來我們確實(shí)取得了一些進(jìn)步，所以希望我們能在柏林之前從這場(chǎng)比賽中學(xué)到更多?！?/p>

Round 13 of the 2021 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship at the ExCeL venue, London, was filled with all the thrills and spills that has become synonymous with the all-electric, street racing series.

Following a solid Qualifying lap by NIO 333 Formula E driver Tom Blomqvist this morning, he commenced the final race of the double header event from the middle of the grid in P14. Just as during yesterday’s opening lap, the bustle of cars heading in to the first set of narrow corners forced Tom into the wall causing front wing and tyre damage to his #88 NIO 333 FE 001 car. The team made the necessary pit stops to get Tom back out on track to gather valuable data and conclude his race a lap down at the chequered flag.

Fellow Briton and teammate Oliver Turvey in the sister #8 NIO 333 car was also on an encouraging flying Qualifying lap when he clipped the wall at Turn 7. Oliver made a clean start and managed to avoid all the incidents that punctuated the 45 mins plus 1 lap race this afternoon and made up eight positions to conclude the second London E-Prix contest in provisional P16.

“After struggling for pace in Free Practice 3 I pushed hard in Qualifying and unfortunately clipped the wall in the first sector which bent the track rod and put us at the back of the grid. The race went much better; we had better pace and managed to move forwards. Although we weren’t able to make it to the points, we had definitely made some improvements since yesterday, so hopefully we can learn more from this race ahead of Berlin.”

“Another unfortunate race result for us, but I think that we made a step forward today in Qualifying and I managed to do a tidy lap that put me in P14. Maybe there was a couple more tenths in it with a perfect lap, but there was not that much more pace in the car, so I think I did reasonably well. I also got a decent race start, but then Nato decided to put me in the wall at Turn 2 which ripped my wing off and punctured the front right tyre, so that was basically my race over. It was a tough weekend, but the pace in the race seemed to be ok so we just need to look forward to Berlin.”

Christian Silk, Team Principal, NIO 333 Formula E Team

“What a crazy race, I think today really shows why Formula E is so exciting and why once you have seen a race you are hooked. All the drivers put on an amazing show today.

At NIO 333 we had a good morning session and went into Qualifying determined to show what we can do. Tom did a great job in tricky conditions and, despite feeling that he could have gone quicker, still managed to set a time good enough for P14. Oliver was equally determined to set a good time, but unfortunately, he pushed a little too hard and drifted wide at Turn 7 damaging the front suspension. He completed the lap cautiously finishing in P24.

Sadly, our luck was no better in this race. Tom made a good start, but was pushed off track on the first lap, damaging the front wing and puncturing a tyre. The subsequent pit stops put him a lap down and out of contention. Oliver had a much cleaner race and showed good pace, but it was always going to be a difficult day having started so far back on the grid - he finished the race in P16.

Overall, it has been a challenging two days in London, but we would like to thank Formula E and ExCeL for putting on such a great show and we look forward to the next race in Berlin in two weeks’ time with a feeling of unfinished business.”
