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.

On the other hand, this is the home race for two-time London E-Prix winner Jake Dennis, who is looking to end the year with at least one win. But there are more who could lay their claim to the winner's trophy in London. Formula E Drivers who have a strong chance at winning the London E-Prix The London E-Prix is the home race for Oliver Rowland, Jake Dennis, and NEOM McLaren rookie Taylor Barnard, who is looking to get one win in his debut year as a full-time Formula E driver.

Formula E's Driving Force program aims to guide 50,000 students amid need for skilled workforce in UK
Formula E (Image credit: Formula E) Formula E has several initiatives running under its sustainability campaign. Among them is a youth education program called Driving Force, supported by PIF E360. It aims to teach children between the ages of 8 and 18 about science, technology, and sustainability. The goal is to reach over 50,000 students worldwide by the end of 2025. All about Formula E's Driving Force program supported by PIF E360 The Driving Force initiative comes at a time when there is expected to be a massive demand for 200,000 skilled workers in the UK for green jobs by 2030, according to PwC. Driving Force helps students learn about clean energy and the environment. It also introduces them to role models from the fields of science and technology, helping them gain the knowledge and confidence needed to consider careers in these areas. These workshops use fun and practical activities to show how what students learn in school can lead to exciting real-world careers in racing, clean energy, engineering, and more. Driving Force workshops in London On July 16, over 90 students participated in Formula E's Driving Force workshop at Hammersmith Academy in London. The session was one of five workshops held at schools across London in July, near the London E-Prix race site in East London and Formula E's headquarters in Hammersmith. Earlier this year, similar workshops were also held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, USA, during Formula E race weeks. Julia Pallé, VP of Sustainability at Formula E, said, "A survey in 2024 of more than 7,000 UK secondary school students reveals a worrying downward trend in both their involvement in and their ambition to pursue STEM subjects — a stark wake-up call for educators and policymakers alike." "Teachers are being asked to make stronger connections between subjects and careers, but they need support from employers to do that effectively. Driving Force, presented by PIF E360, is part of the solution to help the education system deliver what our students and our green economy both desperately need to succeed,' she added.

For example, they recently participated in a beach clean-up near the site of the Jakarta E-Prix. Sustainable drinking water cups and similar practices are small but meaningful contributions by Formula E toward making motorsport as sustainable as ever.
