ROKiT Venturi team looking to build on Diriyah success in Mexico City

LONDON: Following its absence from last year’s calendar, the FIA Formula E World Championship returns to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez this weekend.

ROKiT Venturi and its drivers, fresh from a successful weekend in Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah E-Prix, are relishing the chance to test themselves on the track again.

“Our weekend in Diriyah was a great way to start the season and scoring back-to-back double points finishes – including a double podium and win for the second race – was a fantastic result for the team,”Jerome D’Ambrosio, team principal, said. “This reflected the level of performance that we know that we are capable of and heading to Mexico City, we need to ensure that we maintain this consistency.

He continued: “The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a circuit that has suited our team and drivers in the past - between them Edo and Lucas hold three podiums and two wins at the track.

“Our motivation is very high and if we continue to take the same methodical approach and qualify well, I’m confident that we can again compete at the front and fight for good points,” he added.

Edoardo Mortara, who won Round 2 of the season in Diriyah, is excited to be back in Mexico.

“I really enjoy racing in Mexico and I’m looking forward to returning to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez,” he said. 

“The Mexican fans have an incredible passion for motorsport and every time we race through Foro Sol there is an amazing energy that makes every single lap a unique experience.

“Mexico is a country I have performed well at in past seasons and coming from a competitive weekend in Diriyah, I feel that momentum could be on our side.
