  • In treacherous wet weather conditions in Shanghai, Nick Cassidy dominated Round 11 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
  • Fastest in FP3, Nick qualified on pole and was never headed in the race – taking the win by more than seven-seconds
  • The win sees Cassidy move up to 7th place in the Drivers’ World Championship
  • Mitch Evans in the #9 Jaguar I-TYPE 7 finished in P14
  • The next round takes place on 21 June in Jakarta

Nick Cassidy was peerless in Round 11 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Shanghai, taking both pole position and the race win.

After severe wet weather conditions forced a race start behind the safety car following a 90-minute delay, Cassidy’s pace in the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 #37 when racing began properly on lap eight – backed up by perfect team strategy – meant he was never headed and crossed the line more than seven seconds in front of the field.

Taking an early two-minute Attack Mode on lap eight enabled Nick to build a comfortable lead ahead of Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein, the Porsche driver not able to close on Nick despite taking a four-minute attack mode at the same time. Nick continued to simply drive away from the field in his Jaguar I-TYPE 7 which was also comfortably up on energy, and after taking his final six-minute Attack Mode on lap 22, Cassidy was never threatened.

Starting from P13 on the grid, Mitch Evans fought hard throughout the race but was unable to move forward into the points, finishing the race in P14.

James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal: “I’m so proud of the team, this is a huge result for everyone’s hard work and commitment. This season we’ve felt we’ve had the potential for some really great results, but they haven’t come our way through no fault of our own at times. Even in the first race on the weekend, Nick was taken out when looking very strong, the same thing happened to Mitch in Tokyo, and there have been several other races where we deserved more.”

“But the team has dug deep and continued to work incredibly hard, so they really deserve this result. We know the Jaguar I-TYPE 7 has fundamental pace, and we’ve finally been able to capitalise on that with Nick’s result. He was peerless and has had pace in all conditions across the weekend as well. A clean sweep, fastest in FP3, pole position and untouchable in Sunday’s race – a race that he and the team executed perfectly from a strategic point of view as well. That’s no mean feat in the conditions we had.

“I feel for Mitch. With the grid penalties he had to take in the first race, this weekend was always going to be tough for him – and in the second race we couldn’t find the balance in the car he needed. In wet conditions feel is everything for a driver, and Mitch just wasn’t able to get the grip and confidence from the car he needed. But he fought hard, and as a team we’ll do the same to ensure we work on this ahead of the next round in Jakarta.”

Jaguar TCS Racing driver Nick Cassidy, #37: Jaguar TCS Racing driver Nick Cassidy, #37: “Winning in Shanghai is an incredibly proud moment for me. We have been pushing for a result like this behind the scenes and this weekend was all down to our dedication to unlock the pace we needed and knew we were capable of.

“To be as strong as we have been across this weekend gave us the confidence to make the right decisions on our approach coming into this race – which set me up for the pace and performance we had on track. Big thanks to my team which has been by my side all season and keeps showing up for me. We had the best car out there in Sunday’s race, and with executing the strategies we had planned from the outset, we’ve proved we deserve to fight at the front.”

Jaguar TCS Racing driver Mitch Evans, #9: “With the penalties in the first race, and not being able to get the balance in the car I needed in the second – it’s been a hugely frustrating race weekend. Sometimes they go like that, so all we can do is look forward. Sunday was a great result for Nick and the team though – so we’ve shown the performance is there, we just need to put it together consistently now.”

Round 12 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will take place in Jakarta on Saturday, 21 June.
