India’s Mahindra Racing endured a nightmarish weekend in the Hong Kong leg of the Formula E Championship. Each driver has been compelled to retire after getting into contact with an opponent’s crashing automobile. Jerome D’Ambrosio, who was main the drivers’ standings till this 5th leg of the season, and Pascal Wehrlein have been out of the race a couple of minutes after the start for no fault of theirs. Dragon Racing’s Felipe Nasr crashed into the wall at the second turn of the road circuit, and both the Mahindra Racing cars hit the tail from in the back. Nasr’s vehicle was already spewing smoke simultaneously as it maneuvered through a maze of motors in a chaotic start, clouding the visibility of the guy drivers beneath overcast situations.
The Harbourfront Street Circuit has been a satisfying hunting floor for Mahindra Racing, with three podium finishes within the last three seasons. Still, it was the fourth time the group had been unlucky. A terrible qualification had already positioned the Mahindra Racing drivers—Jerome and Pascal—below stress as they started from the 21st and 22nd roles. This became the second time Mahindra Racing ended without a podium finish this season.
Jerome and Pascal ended fourth and 5th in Mexico City within the fourth leg. A livid Jerome later laid the blame on the Dragon Racing driver. “I assume it was apparent that there had been trouble with Nasr’s vehicle as smoking was popping out of it, so Dragon should have delivered him into the pits and made the car safe, and he despatched him out. In my opinion, they triggered a risky collision, which needs searching,” Jerome
stated. “It’s disappointing because we knew there would be incidents today that we should have attempted to take advantage of, but sadly, it occurred to us. We must choose ourselves again and cognizance of the subsequent race,” stated the 33-12 months-vintage from Belgium. Pascal said there had been no way for him to avoid the twist of fate as the auto before he crashed into the wall. “We need to work difficult now to ensure our car is aggressive in moist situations because we recognize we have been given the tempo inside the dry. So we research from this and move on to Sanya in China (next race on March 23), stated the 24-12 months-old German. Team Principal Dilbagh Singh stated Dragon Racing has apologized for the incident. “It’s unlucky that it was the shortest race of our Formula E history on the party of fifty races for Mahindra Racing. Dragon Racing
officials have apologized to us, pronouncing that it has become their fault and now not ours. It is racing, and it takes place. We must circulate on,” he said. The crash introduced a full-course yellow flag, the safety automobile, and then a purple flag, with the race stopped for over 20 minutes. The day also started on a
disappointing observation, with Jerome and Pascal finishing the qualifying at the back of the grid. Both have been within the first institution of six vehicles that took the street inside the min qualifying, on wet music after two days of heavy rain. The moist song affected the qualifying result as none of the drivers in the first organization did it properly. The tuning step-by-step dried up as the qualifying session stepped forward.
