“這是具有挑戰(zhàn)性的一天，我們非常失望，畢竟我們?cè)谂盼毁愔杏幸恍┯欣馁惖罈l件。最終賽車(chē)的速度沒(méi)有了，我在飛行圈的最后一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)犯了一個(gè)小錯(cuò)誤，所以我們從第15名開(kāi)始比賽。

在第一圈，我在第三個(gè)彎道被別人的賽車(chē)從后面撞擊，破壞了我的懸掛系統(tǒng)，所以我的比賽被毀了。車(chē)隊(duì)在修理我的賽車(chē)方面做得很好，讓我回到賽道，利用剩余的圈數(shù)作為測(cè)試環(huán)節(jié)。希望明天會(huì)是更好的一天?！?/p>

“這是艱難的一天，練習(xí)賽中濕漉漉的環(huán)境很棘手，排位賽中賽道潮濕多變。在排位賽中，我的賽車(chē)表現(xiàn)很糟糕，最后以第19名的成績(jī)結(jié)束，我很失望。正賽開(kāi)始很順利，我在第一圈成功地向前移動(dòng)了四個(gè)位置。

不幸的是，幾圈后，當(dāng)另一輛車(chē)超車(chē)時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)前履帶桿損壞了，導(dǎo)致轉(zhuǎn)向失準(zhǔn)。我們?cè)O(shè)法帶著這樣的損壞完成了比賽，并對(duì)賽車(chē)有了更多的了解，這對(duì)明天很有幫助?！?/p>

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has returned to London, UK, as the first international motorsport event to take place in the capital since the last all-electric, street race in Battersea back in 2016.

?Rounds 12 and 13 of the 2021 contest are taking place at ExCeL London, an international event venue situated in the Royal Docks on the River Thames. The bespoke 1.39-mile indoor/outdoor circuit is a world first in international motorsport featuring 22 corners and two substantial elevation changes on incline and decline ramps.

Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P19

Round 12 Race Result: 15

“It was a difficult day with tricky wet conditions in practice and changeable damp track in Qualifying. I struggled with the car in Qualifying and was disappointed to end up P19. The race start went well, I managed to move forwards four positions on the first lap. Unfortunately, after a few laps I picked up damage to the front track rod when another car overtook which put the steering out of alignment. We managed to finish the race with this damage and learn more about the car which will be useful for tomorrow.”

Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P15

Round 12 Race Result: provisional P22 (DNF)

“It was a challenging day, and we are quite disappointed as we had slightly advantageous track conditions in Qualifying. Ultimately the car pace wasn’t there, and I made a little mistake in the last sector of my flying lap, so we started the race in fifteenth. On the first lap someone hit me from behind at T3 and broke my suspension, so that was my race ruined. The team did a great job fixing my car to get me back out to use the remaining laps as a test session. Hopefully we’ll have a better day tomorrow.”

Christian Silk, Team Principal, NIO 333 Formula E Team

“The whole team has been really looking forwards to racing again in London and the track here certainly does not disappoint. The circuit is very challenging with lots of ramps, bumps, tight corners, changes in surface and even a section indoors. For the first session this morning an added dimension was added to the challenge as a rain shower resulted in the outside part of the track being wet whilst the inside mostly remained dry. Both drivers took it relatively easy for our first wet session and focused on learning as much as possible. By the end of the session the rain had stopped, and we thought it would dry for qualifying. As it was the circuit stayed wet longer than anticipated and the drivers struggled with a general lack of grip with Tom and Oliver finishing Qualifying in P15 and P19 respectively.

The race proved even more difficult. Tom was hit on the opening lap forcing him to pit and change a rear track rod. Given the loss of time Tom was effectively out of contention, but he continued running to acclimatise to the challenging circuit given the lack of running he had had in the dry.

Oliver had a slightly cleaner first lap but did get tagged by another car later in the race which bent the front suspension. The damage was not sufficient to warrant a pit stop, but it did take the edge of the car performance. None the less, Oliver ran consistently and settled into a rhythm, taking the car up to P15. Unfortunately, on the last lap his car was hit from behind, pitching him into a spin and he finished the race in P17 after losing positions during the ensuing incident.”
