5月8日，2021 國際汽聯(lián)電動方程式世界錦標賽第七站在迷人的地中海風光下正式落幕，參加正賽的NIO 333 FE車隊車手湯姆·布隆奎斯特（Tom Blomqvist）和奧利弗·特維（Oliver Turvey）分別從第21和第22的位置發(fā)車，最終收獲了第15和第19的成績。

這條標志性的蒙特卡洛賽道沿城市街道而布置，環(huán)繞著摩納哥公國的港口。由于賽道的狹窄和曲折，全賽段幾乎沒有超車機會，因此獲得排位優(yōu)勢至關重要。

然而不幸的是，NIO 333 FE車隊車手在排位賽上都出現(xiàn)了失誤，使他們無法取得最佳表現(xiàn)，并在發(fā)車區(qū)倒數(shù)第二排位置參加45分鐘+1圈的摩納哥站正賽。

這是極具挑戰(zhàn)性的一天。由于車速的問題，我們無法展現(xiàn)全部的潛力，所以我們想了解問題發(fā)生的原因。從現(xiàn)在開始距離墨西哥大獎賽還有幾周的時間，我們將利用這個休賽期分析所有數(shù)據(jù)，并嘗試找到解決方案。讓我們看看這個休賽期能收獲什么，在將來爭取更多積分。

“這是艱難的一天。在賽前練習中，我們一直在努力尋找最佳的剎車點，在第二次自由練習中取得了不錯的位置。在排位賽前半段我的表現(xiàn)不錯，但后來我不幸上墻了。在這條賽道上，賽車的圈速非常接近，而我們的發(fā)車位過于靠后，因此在比賽中鮮有表現(xiàn)機會。不過，在比賽中我的發(fā)車不錯，在第一個彎超掉了幾臺賽車。

隨后，我在發(fā)卡彎不幸遭遇了前方的事故，這影響了我隨后的比賽。我做出了一些精彩的戰(zhàn)斗，但在這場困難的比賽中很難找準節(jié)奏。我們需要理解事情發(fā)生的原因，并在下一場比賽中更強大地回歸?！?/p>

NIO 333 FE車隊領隊

"這不是我們來這里時所期待的周末。我們期望在排位賽中脫穎而出，正如我們所知，在這場比賽中排位賽就是一切，因為在摩納哥很難超車。

話雖如此，我們的比賽節(jié)奏實際上看起來不錯：我認為我們事實上成為了排位賽中的受害者。比賽中，車手們的發(fā)揮不錯，車隊控制也做得不錯，但如此靠后的發(fā)車位讓我們很難進入得分位置。

我們現(xiàn)在有幾個星期在基地休整的時間，車隊的工程師們將花些時間查看本周末的數(shù)據(jù)。我們需要了解在排位賽中發(fā)生了什么，然后以更昂揚的姿態(tài)參加墨西哥站的比賽?！?/p>

在摩納哥蒙特卡洛賽道留下的數(shù)據(jù)對車隊特別寶貴，賽后我們將會持續(xù)積極改進，再次感謝大家這幾天這么給力的Fanboost投票，我們下月再見！2021年6月19日到6月20日，2021 國際汽聯(lián)電動方程式世界錦標賽第8站和第9站賽事將于墨西哥普埃布拉賽道舉行，敬請期待！

It was a difficult day in the office for the NIO 333 Formula E Team at Round 7 of the 2021 ABB Formula E World Championship in Monaco. The iconic circuit is laid out along the city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine which run around the harbour of the principality. Due to the narrow, tight, and twisty nature of the track good results in qualifying for a race here are crucial as there are few overtaking opportunities throughout the course. Unfortunately, both NIO 333 FE Team drivers Tom Blomqvist and Oliver Turvey had issues on their qualifying laps preventing them from extracting maximum performance from their cars during the Group sessions and lined up for the 45 minutes plus 1 lap event on the penultimate row of the starting grid. However, having made clean starts with evasive moves at the start of the Monaco E-Prix this afternoon, Tom made up several positions to take the chequered flag in P15, with Oliver crossing the line after a thrilling Formula E race in nineteenth.

Tom Blomqvist,

Qualifying Group 4 - Race Grid Position: P21

Round 7 Race Result: provisional P15

“Challenging day – we didn’t have much pace so we need to understand why this was as we couldn’t have got much more out of our race today. We will use these weeks up until the Mexico E-Prix to analyse all the data and try to come up with solutions to improve our package. Let’s see what we can learn in this break and try to implement some solutions so that we are more consistently fighting for points.”

Oliver Turvey, #8 NIO 333 FE 001

Qualifying Group 3 - Race Grid Position: P22

Round 7 Race Result: provisional P19

“It was a tough day. In practice we were struggling to find a good feeling with the brakes, but I managed to put in a decent lap in FP2. Unfortunately, in qualifying the first half of my lap was good, but then I clipped the wall. The times were so close today that we ended up too far back on the grid to make much of an impression in the race. However, I did manage to get a decent start and made up a few positions in the first corners. I was then just unfortunate at the hairpin; going on the outside I got caught up with the incident ahead and that compromised the rest of my race. I did get in some good battles though, but it was a tough race to find a good rhythm. We need to understand why that was and come back stronger for the next race."

Christian Silk,

NIO 333 Formula E Team Principal

“It is not the weekend we had hoped for when we came here. We struggled to get the most out of the cars in qualifying and, as we knew going into this race, qualifying is everything as it’s so difficult to overtake in Monaco. Having said that our race pace looked good; I think that we fell victim of where we qualified. The drivers did a good job, the team controlled the race well, but having qualified so far back it was always going to be very difficult to climb in to points scoring positions. We now have a few weeks back at base for the engineers to spend some time looking at the data from this weekend. We need to understand what happened in qualifying and come back stronger for the Mexico events.”

Championship take place in Latin America at a new location for the all-electric series in Puebla, Mexico on 19th and 20th June.
