2021年4月25日，2021 國際汽聯(lián)電動方程式世界錦標(biāo)賽第六站比賽繼續(xù)進(jìn)行，相比前一天，西班牙瓦倫西亞的天氣情況有了明顯好轉(zhuǎn)，NIO 333 FE車隊(duì)的兩位車手在成績上也有了大幅提升。

?

在當(dāng)天上午舉行的排位賽中，奧利弗·特維在第4組出場，展現(xiàn)了穩(wěn)定的實(shí)力，本賽季第二次闖入超級桿位，他所駕駛NIO 333 FE 001賽車創(chuàng)造了全場第五快的圈速。同組出發(fā)并一起進(jìn)入超級桿位的隊(duì)友湯姆·布隆奎斯特也帶來了令人印象深刻的一圈，第四名的排位賽成績刷新了他個人在FE職業(yè)生涯最佳。NIO 333 FE車隊(duì)的兩位車手奧利弗·特維和湯姆·布隆奎斯特憑借在排位賽時賽道路面的優(yōu)勢和出色的發(fā)揮，獲得了位于第二排發(fā)車的機(jī)會。

在稍晚進(jìn)行的正賽中，與前一天的雨戰(zhàn)不同，本場正賽并未出動一次安全車，各車隊(duì)競爭焦灼。奧利弗一路穩(wěn)扎穩(wěn)打，比賽期間曾上升至第二名，最終以第8名沖線，在45分鐘+1圈的正賽后為車隊(duì)從瓦倫西亞帶回4個積分。布隆奎斯特在比賽后半段采取了不同策略以防止昨天比賽大規(guī)模的賽車能量耗盡情況，最終以17名完賽。

“我們在潮濕的環(huán)境中擁有很好的排位賽成績。我在第4組中做出了很好的成績，進(jìn)入超級桿位后又取得不錯的表現(xiàn)。正賽第二排第四位的發(fā)車是一個很好的位置，我們知道這場比賽將是艱難的，賽道在完全干旱的情況下，電量管理至關(guān)重要。我認(rèn)為我們造就了一個良好的開端，我在第一個彎道超越湯姆，一直保持到第三個彎道，比賽的首要任務(wù)就是控制電量。我能夠穩(wěn)住我的速度，但是我們在攻擊模式上輸了一點(diǎn)。然而，我們的比賽執(zhí)行得非常好，進(jìn)入了一個良好的節(jié)奏，發(fā)揮出賽車的最大性能。在一場沒有任何意外發(fā)生的比賽中，我以第8名的成績將積分囊入懷中，這是一個非常棒的結(jié)局，所以我真的要感謝車隊(duì)的辛勤工作。”

NIO 333 FE車隊(duì)領(lǐng)隊(duì)

FE方程式的比賽充滿了不確定性，這對車迷來說是一件幸事，但對車隊(duì)而言就有些一言難盡了。我們很明顯感覺到昨天的賽車并沒有發(fā)揮最大潛力，因此我們在賽車的調(diào)校上做出了很大的改變。顯而易見的是，這些改變提升了我們的賽車性能。

上午的自由練習(xí)比較潮濕，但對我們來說，這是一個非常好的、了解賽車在雨地條件下性能的機(jī)會。我們在上午的自由練習(xí)取得了進(jìn)步，這將幫助我們在未來應(yīng)對雨戰(zhàn)時奠定基礎(chǔ)。在排位賽中，幸運(yùn)女神站在了我們這一邊——隨著比賽的進(jìn)行，賽道逐漸變干，而湯姆和奧利弗抓住了機(jī)會，兩人都進(jìn)入了超級桿位賽，這真是太棒了。盡管在超級桿位賽中比賽的條件對我們不利，但是車手們還是很好地完成工作，車隊(duì)也實(shí)現(xiàn)了第二排并排發(fā)車。

這是一場非同尋常的比賽，而我們的工程師在車輛的性能管理上也付出了非常多的精力。奧利弗取得了一個夢幻開局，憑借強(qiáng)勁的表現(xiàn)一度上升到第二位。在比賽行將結(jié)束之時，我們的賽車遭遇了一些速度的問題，但是看到NIO 333賽車這樣強(qiáng)勁的表現(xiàn)讓我們感到非常高興，這給我們滿懷希望繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。湯姆在比賽伊始有些掙扎，失去了幾個位置。不幸的是，他的賽車上遭遇了一些問題，這限制了他跑出他的速度，導(dǎo)致了賽車跌出積分區(qū)。我們將仔細(xì)研究這些數(shù)據(jù)，并確定問題出在哪里。

我要感謝所有的車迷在周末的支持。這個周末車迷們一直在通過Fanboost（粉絲加速）來支持我們并且投票給奧利弗和湯姆，這對身處賽道的我們來說是巨大的鼓舞。

5月8日，F(xiàn)E世界電動方程式比賽將移師摩納哥的蒙特卡洛賽道，進(jìn)行第7站的比賽。

Round 6 of the ABB Formula E World Championship in Valencia was greeted with finer weather than yesterday and much improved results for the NIO 333 Formula E Team.

After qualifying strongly in Group 4, Oliver Turvey set the fifth fastest lap in the #8 NIO 333 001 during the team's second double?'Top Six' Superpole shoot-out?this season. Team-mate Tom Blomqvist also set an impressive lap during his quick run in Group 4 and ultimately set his Formula E career best result in the #88 car with an impressive P4 on the Superpole time sheet.

From a second row ‘lock out’ by the NIO 333 FE team?(after pre-race penalties), Oliver drove a hard-fought contest this afternoon, running up in P2 after his first Attack Mode. He took the chequered flag to score four valuable Championship points for the team in P8.

Tom made a valiant start from P3 and battled the quick mid-fielders for the duration of the 45 mins + 1 lap competition. He crossed the finish line in P17 to conclude the first ever Formula E electric racing weekend to be hosted in Spain.

“We had a great qualifying in the damp conditions. I managed to put in a good lap in the group session to make Superpole and then another great lap in the shoot-out. To end up P4, and on the second row, was a great position. We knew that the race was going to be tough in the full dry, with energy management here being critical. I think we got a good start; I was able to get ahead of Tom in the first corner and up to P3, and then the first part of the race was just managing the energy. I was able to keep the pace, but think we lost out a little bit in Attack Modes. However, we executed the race really well, got into a good rhythm and got the most out of the car. To come home in P8 and score points in a race with no incidents is a great result, so I have to really thank the team for all their hard work."

“Qualifying was good, but we struggled in the race for pace. It was a disappointing result for me as we had qualified so well and started so far up the grid. However, we now have some time until the next event in Monaco to analyse the data and try to understand what we need to do to improve and convert our qualifying performance into the race.”

Christian Silk, NIO 333 Formula E Team Principal

“Formula E is nothing if not unpredictable, which I guess is great for the fans if a little tricky for the teams to manage. We made quite a lot of changes from how we ran yesterday as we really did not feel we were getting the most from the car. The changes we made definitely moved the cars towards improved performance which is great to see.

The morning session was wet, so it really was a chance to learn more about the performance of the car in the slippery conditions and we made good progress in this session which will stand us in good stead in future wet sessions. The qualifying track conditions really came to us as the circuit dried out during the sessions. Tom and Oliver grabbed the chance presented by the better track and both made it into Superpole, which is fantastic. The conditions worked against us in Superpole, but again the drivers did a great job to achieve a row two lockout.

The race ended up being very unusual and really taxed our engineers as we managed the performance of the car. Oliver made a great start and ran a really strong race fighting as high as P2. We struggled a little with pace at the end of the race, but it was really pleasing to see the NIO 333 car running so strongly and this gives us great hope going forwards. Tom got slightly bulked at the beginning?and lost a couple of places at the start. Unfortunately, we had some issues with his car which prevented him showing his natural pace and we finished out of the points with that car. We will go through the data with a fine-toothed comb and determine exactly where the problem was.

I would like to thank all our fans for their support over the weekend. For us at the circuit it is really great to know people are following us and voting for Oliver and Tom with Fanboost.”

The all-electric racing series now heads to Monte Carlo, in the Principality of Monaco, for Round 7 of the 2021 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on 8^th?May.
