“在摩納哥比賽總是很特別的,今年我迫不及待地想和NIO 333 FE車隊在全街道賽上飛馳!我以前在比賽中登上過領(lǐng)獎臺,對這些標志性街道有著非常美好的回憶。在瓦倫西亞度過了一個令人鼓舞的周末并且經(jīng)歷了兩場精彩的比賽,我之后在摩納哥的目標是繼續(xù)保持這種勢頭,再次為沖進超級桿位而戰(zhàn),為車隊爭取更多的積分。”

NIO 333 FE 001,88號
"摩納哥的美妙無需贅言!我很高興這次FE將采用完整的賽道布局進行比賽!我自己從未在摩納哥跑過比賽,這讓我更加興奮。瓦倫西亞站的比賽,我們車隊通過奧利弗的表現(xiàn)取得了不錯的成績;單純就賽事本身而言,我度過了一個不太順利的周末。希望我們能吸取教訓(xùn),在蒙特卡洛賽道收獲令人滿意的成績,而這也是我們本站的主要目標。一個涼爽的周末,一條酷斃了的完整賽道,我和小伙伴們已經(jīng)迫不及待了!"
克里斯蒂安·西爾克(Christian Silk)
NIO 333 FE車隊領(lǐng)隊
"我相信這個世界上沒有哪個車迷不癡迷于摩納哥賽道。這些年來,我來過很多次摩納哥,然而回到這里仍然讓我感到興奮。在此期間,我經(jīng)歷了比賽的高潮和低谷:我曾經(jīng)在此連續(xù)工作72小時裝配賽車,然后賽車在第一圈就遭遇了事故(我可能已經(jīng)流下了眼淚),當然我也擁有一些難忘的勝利。
在這條歷史悠久的完整賽道上比賽對于 NIO 333 賽車來說是一種榮耀,這也是我們所期待的事。而我們上一場在瓦倫西亞站的出色表現(xiàn)也會持續(xù)提高人們的期望。
4 May 2021: This season’s Monaco E-Prix on Saturday 8th May, round 7 of the 2021 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, will be the fourth running of the all-electric racing event in the Principality which occurs on the streets of Monte Carlo on a biennial basis. The new 19-turn, 3.32km Formula E track will see the NIO 333 001 cars of Oliver Turvey and Tom Blomqvist go up the famous hill after the first turn at Sainte Devote and complete a new section of the circuit for Formula E which includes the iconic street corners around Casino Square, Mirabeau, the Grand Hotel Hairpin and Portier. The FIA homologated track will consist of different kerb placement at Sainte Devote and a change in the chicane layout at T11 on the harbour front on the exit of the tunnel. This will be the first time in ABB FIA Formula E World Championship history that the tunnel will feature in a Formula E event.
Oliver Turvey, #8 NIO 333 FE 001
“It’s always special to race in Monaco, this year I can’t wait to be able to race NIO 333 Formula E car on the full street circuit! Having won on the Grand Prix track previously, I have very fond memories of these iconic streets. After an encouraging weekend in Valencia with two strong races, I am aiming to continue this momentum into Monaco to fight for Superpole again and more points for the team.”
Tom Blomqvist, #88 NIO 333 FE 001
“Monaco itself doesn’t need any introduction! It’s pretty awesome that Formula E is racing on the full circuit. I have never raced there myself so that’s going to be really exciting. The team had a good result in Valencia with Oliver; I had a troubling weekend in terms of the races, so hopefully we’ve learned what went on there and we can have a solid weekend in Monte Carlo. That’s the main goal. It’s going to be a cool weekend, a cool experience racing on the full track – it’s going to be fun!”
Christian Silk, NIO 333 Formula E Team Principal
“I don’t think there is a motor racing fan alive who would not be excited by the thoughts of going to race at Monaco. Over the years I have been there many times and am still thrilled to be returning. During this time I have experienced the highs and lows of racing, from working 72 hours straight to get the car built only for it to crash on the first lap (I may have shed a tear) to some memorable wins. To be racing the NIO 333 Formula E cars around the full length of the historic circuit is a real honour, one that the whole team is looking forwards to. The great performances during the last race in Valencia only heightens the expectation. Qualifying is everything on this historic circuit as it is always difficult to overtake around the Principality, so we will be really focused on achieving the best possible grid positions. As we have seen recently anything can happen in Formula E, but I am sure that if we can qualify well then we will be in a position to pick up a points result at the end of the race.”
