The result means Evans now equals Sébastien Buemi as the driver with the most wins since Formula E began – 14 in total – and takes Jaguar TCS Racing’s fiftieth podium since the team joined the championship in 2016. Team-mate Nick Cassidy drove outstandingly to recover from the back row of the grid and a 10-second ‘Stop and Go’ penalty to finish in the top five. After the penalties, which were incurred as a result of changing the Jaguar TCS Racing #37’s inverter at the Jakarta E-Prix, Cassidy showed strong pace to move up the order into P15 before the Safety Car was brought out on Lap 29. When the race resumed, the Kiwi made remarkable progress in the closing stages to move up 10 positions in the final nine laps, utilising his two Attack Mode deployments superbly to claim his sixth points-scoring finish in the last seven races.

It is also the first time both Jaguar TCS Racing drivers have finished in the points together since last year’s London E-Prix. Evans is now up to 13th in the Drivers’ World Championship following his victory in Germany with Cassidy remaining eighth but just six points from the top five in the standings. Jaguar TCS Racing has moved up to sixth in the Teams’ World Championship and into third in the Manufacturers’ championship. James Barclay, Jaguar TCS Racing Team Principal: “It has been an incredible day for the Jaguar TCS Racing team. Everyone has worked so hard for this result, and that has really paid off today in Germany. For Mitch, he has been overdue a result like this for some time and to earn his second win of the season from pole position, in what was not an easy race, shows his class as a driver. It was a superb performance and richly deserved.

"Nick also deserves massive credit after an incredible drive from the back of the grid, and with a Stop and Go penalty, to fight back and finish in the top five. He made excellent progress and had considerable pace, his strategy was expertly executed in the closing stages to capitalise on his two Attack Mode deployments. We have been on the receiving end of some bad luck recently in terms of Safety Car and Full Course Yellow timings hindering our progress, but for Nick they worked in our favour today. “We are gaining some great momentum and one thing for sure is we never give up. The whole Jaguar TCS Racing team is now hugely motivated to deliver another strong result in the second race of the Berlin E-Prix tomorrow.” Jaguar TCS Racing driver Mitch Evans, #9: “That felt like a long time coming! I'm so happy to deliver this result for the whole Jaguar TCS Racing team and it feels good to be back on the top step. Starting from pole position showed the speed we had in the Jaguar I-TYPE 7, and in the race in changeable conditions it was all about staying out of trouble, keeping the pace and delivering on our strategy. “The late safety car closed things up as I was managing a brake issue, but it was so good to take the win and I am looking forward to coming back tomorrow and fighting for victory once more.” Jaguar TCS Racing driver Nick Cassidy, #37: “After the issues I had in qualifying and the penalty we had to take in the race, to be able to drive through from the back of the grid to finish fifth is just a great result for me and for the team - and we get to go again tomorrow!”
