In Their Words‍

Jérôme D’Ambrosio, Team Principal, ROKiT Venturi Racing‍

“As the penultimate weekend of the season every single point counts in London and, at this stage of the championship, we will not take anything for granted. We need to remain grounded and focussed on the task ahead of us so we can continue to maximise each opportunity that presents itself. Last time out in New York, we showed real potential and after a strong performance in Race One, we were reminded in Race Two that tiny elements can have a huge impact on the race results, regardless of your pace in Formula E. With that in mind, our target for this weekend is to continue our current form, keep things as simple as possible and make sure that we execute two clean and efficient races.”‍

Edoardo Mortara, Driver, ROKiT Venturi Racing‍

“The ExCeL Circuit is still quite new to the Formula E calendar, and it's quite a technical and challenging track, which when driven perfectly, is very satisfying to race on. Because of the layout, it can be difficult to overtake, meaning that qualifying well will be very important if we want to achieve a good result. Our pace in the second half of this season has been strong and we have shown that we have one of the fastest and most energy efficient cars on the grid. With the end of the season in sight, it’s time for the final push so let's see what we can achieve."

‍Lucas di Grassi, Driver, ROKiT Venturi Racing‍

“In 2021 I came very close to winning in London and after finishing second in New York, I’m hoping to go one step better this weekend. Both tracks are quite similar, in that they feature a variety of different corner types and have limited overtaking opportunities. Track positioning is also very important, and this means that it is important to execute a strong qualifying, which we have been doing all season. If we can piece everything together, I see no reason why we can’t be in contention for victory. As usual, I’ll be giving it my all.”
