當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間7月11日,2021 國際汽聯(lián)電動(dòng)方程式世界錦標(biāo)賽第10站和第11站在美國紐約落幕。當(dāng)天傍晚舉行的第11站正賽中,NIO 333 FE車隊(duì)的奧利弗·特維和湯姆·布隆奎斯特分別從第17和18位發(fā)車,湯姆順利完賽,取得第21名,奧利弗·特維在倒數(shù)6分鐘左右因賽車撞墻損壞而遺憾退賽。
08?奧利弗·特維
“由于昨天比賽發(fā)生的碰撞,我只能妥協(xié)于用一套輪胎。在排位賽和正賽開始階段,我艱難地保持著比賽節(jié)奏。隨著比賽進(jìn)行,感覺我的速度有所提高,緊跟其他車手并縮小差距。能量管理在比賽結(jié)束時(shí)仍有盈余,所以相較昨天的比賽,我覺得取得了一些進(jìn)步。我希望能在最后幾圈努力超車,但是撞到了圍欄,以這樣的情況結(jié)束比賽感覺并不好。我們?cè)诒荣悧l件下取得一些進(jìn)展,應(yīng)該抱以積極的心態(tài),希望能從本周末的比賽中汲取經(jīng)驗(yàn),在倫敦站帶來更好的表現(xiàn)。”
88?湯姆·布隆奎斯特
“又是艱難的一天。我在排位賽中犯了錯(cuò)誤,在后四分之一路段撞墻,之后的比賽便受到影響。我獲得了不錯(cuò)的正賽發(fā)車位,但后來我遇到了技術(shù)問題,受到了通過維修區(qū)的處罰,影響了比賽節(jié)奏,不得不讓我采用新策略——節(jié)省能量并希望有安全車出動(dòng)。因此,我們需要繼續(xù)努力,努力學(xué)習(xí)和不斷改進(jìn),在每場(chǎng)比賽中繼續(xù)向前邁進(jìn),爭(zhēng)取獲得更多積分?!?/p>
揮別有“世界十字路口”之稱的紐約之后,本賽季的最后四站,我們將重回歐洲大陸,接下去的事就是仔細(xì)復(fù)盤積極調(diào)整狀態(tài)。
2021 國際汽聯(lián)電動(dòng)方程式世界錦標(biāo)賽將于2021年7月24日(周六)和25日(周日)在英國倫敦舉行第12站和第13站的全電動(dòng)賽車系列賽。
Round 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in New York provided all the thrills and excitement that has become synonymous with the all-electric, street racing series today.
After a dawn start for the second round of the North American event, a highly competitive Qualifying session saw NIO 333 Formula E Team drivers Oliver Turvey and Tom Blomqvist line up on the grid for the start of the punishing New York City E-Prix in P17 and P18 respectively.

Oliver Turvey, #8 NIO 333 FE 001
Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P17
Round 11 Race Result: DNF
“I was compromised with only one set of tyres for the?day, due to yesterday’s damage.?I struggled a bit for pace in Qualifying and during the opening phase of the race. As the race progressed it felt like our pace did improve and I was able to keep pace with some of the guys around me and close back in. Our energy was looking stronger toward the end of the race, so I felt that we made some progress in terms of the race from yesterday. Unfortunately, I clipped the wall just at the end. It was a shame to finish the race like that, especially as I was looking forward to trying to move forward in the last few laps, but I think we can take the positives that we made some progress in the race condition and hopefully we can earn from everything we’ve done this weekend and come back stronger for London.”
Tom Blomqvist, #88 NIO 333 FE 001
Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P18
Round 11 Race Result: provisional P21
“Another difficult day. I made a mistake in Qualifying, clipping the wall during the last quarter of the lap which compromised it quite a lot. I had a half decent start to the race?gaining positions, but then I had a technical issue which meant I received a drive through penalty. Obviously, your race is then completely compromised and boxes you in to one strategy - to save a little bit of energy and hope there’s a safety car.
We obviously need to keep our heads down and keep chipping away, trying to learn and improve, and keep making steps forward at every race and towards getting more points.”
Christian Silk, Team Principal, NIO 333 Formula E Team
“It was a disappointing race. I don’t feel that we got the results we deserved given the performance potential of the cars. Everyone worked hard last night to try to understand the issues we experienced yesterday, and we’d made good progress this morning.
Tom was on for a strong Qualifying performance before a mistake in T12 cost him dearly. Oliver struggled a little more on his Qualifying lap and we ended up with the drivers next to each other in P17 and P18 on the grid.
Obviously, from the back we were going to struggle to make much of an impression during the race. Both drivers had clean starts and Tom, despite lining up on the dirty side, had a very strong first lap. Unfortunately, we had a?technicality?issue with the #88 car which forced us to take a drive through penalty. After that we tried to save maximum energy, hoping for a safety car deployment later in the race which would close up the pack.
On a positive note, Tom was very complimentary regarding the handling of the car and Oliver was running strongly throughout the race, battling with the cars in the second pack around him before he was forced to retire due to car damage. We shall keep working hard toward our goal of points scoring results ahead of the London event in two weeks.”
The ABB Formula E World Championship now heads to the ExCel Exhibition Centre in London, United Kingdom, for Rounds 12 and 13 of the all-electric racing series on Saturday 24th?and Sunday 25th?July 2021.
