  • António Félix da Costa takes fourth place in wet conditions
  • World Champion Pascal Wehrlein finishes seventh
  • Fifth fastest lap of seven for Porsche

The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team scored 19 world championship points in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s second race of the Monaco double-header on Sunday. In wet conditions, António Félix da Costa crossed the finish line fourth and scored an additional point for the fastest lap in the top ten.

This is the fifth time out of seven races this season that a Porsche driver has set the fastest race lap. World Champion and teammate Pascal Wehrlein took seventh place. The result rewards the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team after a major rebuild of da Costa’s car following an incident in Saturday’s race. The Portuguese has now moved back up to second in the drivers’ classification.

Andretti Formula E’s Jake Dennis also scored points by finishing ninth, making it three of the highly efficient Porsche 99X Electric in the top ten.

The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team continues to lead the teams’ standings.

Comments on the Monaco E-Prix
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E:
 “We scored valuable points again. This was a very, very tricky day. We had a really tough start to the race because of low grip conditions. Our car started to work from mid-race to the end when we were really fast. We were the quickest cars on track with António at the end of the race setting the fastest lap time in the top ten, and both cars progressing to the end of the race. With António finishing in P4 and Pascal P7, we scored 19 very important points. Overall we had three Porsche in the top nine. It was a pity for Cupra Kiro to score no points despite strong performance especially in qualifying. Big thank you to all of our crew for the clean rebuild over night! Now we will have to work especially on our tyre warm-up.”

Pascal Wehrlein, Porsche factory driver (#1): “It was particularly tricky in the beginning. I started in P10 but quickly went down to P17 just with poor grip as the tyre warm-up was very bad. Once the track started to dry out the pace was really good. We started to progress forwards and finished the race in P7. There’s a trend this weekend that we are struggling with tyre warm-up. We have a lot to analyse and learn so that we can have a good second half of the season.”

António Félix da Costa, Porsche factory driver (#13): “That was one of the most difficult races I have ever done. It was just so hard to drive the cars in these conditions. The grip was so limited and also it was hard adapting to the track as it was drying out. It really tested all of us. I’m happy with P4. I have to thank the whole team for rebuilding the car yesterday after the crash. We had to change the complete car so they were here until 2 a.m. and I am happy to reward them with some good points today. We will work hard and understand where we can do better before Tokyo in two weeks.”
