Lucas di Grassi wins spectacular ePrix in Putrajaya
Lucas di Grassi with best battery management strategy
“You can see how tricky conditions were from how much sand I had in my eyes and in the car... That was a very tough race, mainly because of battery temperatures,” said Lucas di Grassi. “It was basically the same problem as last year, but fortunately, we managed it better than the others. The backroom guys – the team – got strategy dead right, enabling us to take the win and the lead in the championship.” Where is the battery management details?
Fantastic lap in qualifying
Di Grassi had been on course to take pole position with a fantastic lap in qualifying until a small mistake on the final section dropped him down to sixth position on the grid. “I never push too much. I had two very good first sectors. I was much faster than anyone else. I then scraped the wall on the last sector and my car was damaged for the last turn as a result. I just made it across the finish line to take fifth fastest time,” said di Grassi.
