Taylor Barnard proud to have had a shot at Formula E runner-up: 'One weekend doesn't define the year we've had'
Taylor Barnard (Image credit: Instagram) It was Taylor Barnard's rookie season this year, and the NEOM McLaren driver put up a fantastic performance by temporarily making it to the top three in the Formula E Driver Standings by ousting the much more experienced Porsche driver Antonio Felix Da Costa. He was, however, ousted from the top three at the London E-Prix as Jaguar's Nick Cassidy went on to register three consecutive wins. Barnard took to Instagram to share his feelings on losing out on the top three in his first-ever season and his claim to the championship. Taylor Barnard on losing top three spot in Formula E World Championship Taking to Instagram after the London E-Prix, Barnard wrote, 'London wasn't what we hoped for, easily being the toughest weekend of our season.

He further wrote, 'As the season closes, I want to say a massive thank you to the entire team, both trackside and behind the scenes, for everything this season. Finishing P4 in the Drivers' Championship and coming into the final weekend with a shot at runner-up is something to be proud of.' Also adding a note for teammate Sam Bird, as NEOM McLaren withdrew from Formula E after the end of the season, Barnard wrote, '@sambird_official it wasn't the weekend you deserved either. You've been a huge part of my season both on and off the track, and I'm grateful for everything. You deserved more. To all the Papaya fans, thank you for the incredible support in our final race together. You always go above and beyond. ' Fans hail Taylor Barnard for his fantastic rookie season Reacting to his post, a fan wrote, 'An incredible debut season, huge congrats and excited to see where you go next!' Another said, 'I know I said it the other day, but you've been incredible to watch this last year and a pleasure to support you in Papaya — there are many of us that can't wait to support you in whatever you do next!'
