Nick Cassidy defies doubt to deliver historic Citroen victory in thrilling Formula E showdown

Nick Cassidy’s Thrilling Triumph: A Historic First for Citroen in Formula E!

In an electrifying display of skill and determination, Nick Cassidy defied the odds to clinch a stunning victory at the Formula E Mexico City E-Prix, marking a monumental milestone as Citroen’s first-ever win in this high-octane racing series. The Kiwi driver, who started from a daunting 13th position on the grid, showcased a masterclass in strategy and resilience, ultimately holding off fierce competition from Mahindra’s Edoardo Mortara to claim the coveted top spot.

Cassidy’s emotional journey to victory at the sold-out Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez was fraught with uncertainty. “I didn’t think until the last lap that we were OK,” he admitted, reflecting on the pressure he felt throughout the race. Initially pleased with a potential fourth-place finish, Cassidy’s confidence soared as his team executed a flawless strategy, enabling him to seize the lead. “This one is very much for my engineer as it is for me and the whole team. It’s the team, the car, the package and the strategy that enabled us to win that race – you can’t win this race with a bad car,” he stated, emphasizing the collaborative effort behind his extraordinary win.

Celebrating his historic achievement, Cassidy expressed immense pride in being part of the Citroen project. “Winning here, with Citroën, is a dream coming true. I’m happy for the whole team; it’s a privilege to be part of this project,” he proclaimed, underscoring the significance of this victory not just for himself but for the entire Citroen team.

His triumph has catapulted Citroen to the top of the team standings, with Cassidy now leading the drivers’ championship. With 44 points accumulated, the season is off to a flawless start for the ambitious racer, who has come close to capturing the championship title in previous seasons. Is Season 12 finally his time to shine?

Adding a twist to the celebrations, Cassidy revealed a quirky bet he made with his teammate Jean-Eric Vergne prior to the race. “I made a deal with JEV on Thursday that if I won I’d shave my head. There’s a statistic that whoever wins this race wins the championship, so I wasn’t giving that one up – if we win the championship, I’ll shave my head anyway!” This light-hearted wager has added an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling season.

As Nick Cassidy solidifies his status as one of the elite drivers in Formula E, fans and competitors alike are left wondering: Could this be the year he finally conquers the championship? With his recent victory, Cassidy has not only made history for Citroen but has also ignited hopes of an exhilarating campaign ahead. Stay tuned for what promises to be a sensational season!
