Mitch Evans on his Berlin win after a frustrating wait: "It's been a really tough few months"
Mitch Evans (Image credit: Instagram) Formula E Season 11 seems to have turned out special and interesting for most of the drivers. Jaguar TCS Racing's Mitch Evans had started the season on a high by clinching the first E-Prix win in Sao Paulo, but in the following races throughout the season, the New Zealander couldn't even come close to the podium in any of the next 10 races. He has now opened up about finally closing the year on a high after clinching his second win of the season at the Berlin E-Prix. Mitch Evans on finally ending his streak of bad luck in Berlin It was unusual to see Mitch Evans failing to finish in the top 10 in any of the ten races that followed his victory in Sao Paulo. He won the first race of the season but was among the last finishers in the next 10 races. Mitch Evans simply wrote on Instagram after his much-awaited win in Berlin: 'Victory. Amazing day — pole + win in tricky conditions. Thanks to all the boys and girls at @jaguarracing.' The happy pictures of the driver lifting the winner's trophy, planting a kiss on it, and celebrating with the team — including teammate Nick Cassidy — said it all. The Jaguar driver opened up about the tough six months that had him finishing near the back of the field. Talking to after finally clinching his second win in Berlin, he said, "It's been a really tough few months, and it felt like I couldn't do anything right. I kept having problems; performance wasn't quite there, and qualifying was just too rapid, so I had to keep it together. Obviously, in the race, it was changeable conditions. I think the team really managed the strategy well. I had some problems after the pit stop, which allowed Pascal (Wehrlein) to get closer to me.' "So once it happened, I thought I might have to stop in the race, and I was just kind of like, well, that just sums up my season. Luckily, I was able to juggle both things and bring them home, but it just wasn't expected. I'm just very happy for my side of the garage, for the team — you know, it's been a good day for what's been a really difficult season," he added.

Nick Cassidy on Berlin E-Prix win: 'I don't want to take the moment from Oliver Rowland'
Image credit: Nick Cassidy/Instagram Nick Cassidy belted out Taylor Swift's Love Story with his teammates after securing his first win of the season in Shanghai. He followed it up with a second victory in Berlin on Sunday, but the Jaguar TCS Racing driver was quick to shift the spotlight to Nissan's Oliver Rowland, who nearly stole the show by clinching the Formula E Drivers' Championship with a fourth-place finish.

Nick Cassidy on his second victory of the season in Berlin Sharing his feelings after the end of the Berlin E-Prix, Nick Cassidy said: 'What an awesome race. Firstly, to be honest, I don't want to take the moment from Oli [Rowland] and the Nissan guys — World Champions with a whole weekend to spare is an incredible achievement. Well done to Oliver, he's been a class act all year.' Speaking about the team and his race car, he added, 'My guys called it perfectly. We had a really good car in the race. We kind of knew we screwed up in qualifying, and I was a bit upset about that, but the car during the race was fantastic—it was awesome. That's three wins here now. This place didn't used to be kind to me, but it's become an amazing venue for me over the years, so it's really cool to have won here for three consecutive years. We've been improving all season—it's no secret that Jaguar is back. The future for the team is very bright. They're going to keep getting better, and I think that's been obvious over the past few weekends. I had a fantastic car.' Nick Cassidy shares joyful podium moments from Berlin E-Prix Nick Cassidy posted several pictures from his Berlin celebration on Instagram. Alongside images of him popping champagne on the podium, the 30-year-old captioned the post: 'Yesssss! P1 in Berlin!! What a team effort. @jaguarracing.'

It's been difficult for us since São Paulo. There were tricky conditions, and I was managing some issues with the brakes towards the end of the race, which wasn't easy. I was quite happy with a bit of a gap, but nonetheless, the car was competitive throughout the race and there were some good strategy calls from the team. My guys did so well. There's always some work to do, but this is a nice reward for everyone back at Jaguar TCS Racing.' Evans had secured pole position in the qualifying session.
