Image credit: Nico Mueller/Instagram Nico Mueller has expressed his happiness over securing his first podium of the season in Jakarta and hopes to carry the momentum into the remaining four Formula E races in Berlin and London. However, he also expressed regret for his teammate Jake Dennis, who had taken pole and was leading the race before being hit by Mahindra Racing's Nyck De Vries. While Dennis lost his chance to finish on the podium, Mueller went on to claim third place at the Jakarta E-Prix. Nico Mueller shares Jakarta memories on Instagram Nico Mueller took to Instagram to share his joy at the podium finish. He posted a few pictures from the podium celebration and wrote, 'PODIUM in Jakarta. That one tastes sweet after all the hard work and the good progress made coming into this weekend! Thanks for the good work team. #nm51 #fullpull #andretti #formulae #jakarta.' In the comments section, he added, 'Our @andrettife package was on it today – very sorry for @jakedennis19 who was flying today.' Nico Mueller feels for Andretti teammate Jake Dennis On Sunday, Nico Mueller shared a video reflecting on his achievement in Jakarta. He said, 'Hey guys, podium here in Jakarta. A very exciting race, a very difficult one. But yeah, had very good pace, made the right calls on strategy. Some good moves that helped us go from P13 on the grid to P3. Very, very happy for the team. It could have been an even better day with Jake, who was obviously in great shape up there as well. But yeah, we'll take that podium and hopefully carry the momentum into the last four races. ' When asked how he felt after the podium finish, Mueller had told the media, 'Very good! We always had the race pace all season long. Qualifying has always been our Achilles' heel, if you want to call it that. Today I felt like I had a car to get into the [qualifying] duels, but a slight mistake in these very dusty conditions cost me a lot.' Speaking about how he improved in the race, he added, 'But then in the race, I managed to move up early and worked my way into the top eight. We were a bit lucky with the strategy, but I also think we executed really well. Whenever we had an opportunity to move forward, we took it, and we had good pace at the end. Very happy with how it all went — obviously super pleased for the whole team and my crew. They really deserve this podium, and I hope we can keep that momentum going into the last four races.

Andretti's Jake Dennis celebrates 30th birthday on a yacht, reads out most interesting birthday card from Nico Mueller
Image credit: Jake Dennis/Instagram Formula E driver Jake Dennis celebrated his 30th birthday in style by throwing a yacht party with friends and family. The Andretti driver has been sharing several glimpses of his wild celebration aboard the luxurious yacht. On the occasion, his teammate Nico Mueller wrote him a birthday card — and it's his race-themed message that stood out among everything that happened around Dennis' birthday. Jake Dennis reads aloud Nico Mueller's card A video shared on Andretti's Instagram page shows Jake Dennis reading out the birthday message penned by his Andretti teammate Nico Mueller. The card read: 'Around lap around the sun and you are still somehow managing to stay in attack mode. Though at your age, it might just be the sugar rush from the birthday cake. I'd say you are aging like a good race strategy, unexpected, a bit chaotic, but somehow still working out in the end. But if you get any older, we might need to swap your visor for reading glasses.' 'Hope your day is full of pole position vibes, clean lines and zero penalty points for once. Don't worry if things start going down this year, just blame the software update. If it works for the car, it should work for you too. It's a pleasure sharing the garage with you even if your setup notes are questionable. Enjoy the ride mate and don't forget to lift and coast through your thirties,' it further read.

It seems his family and friends had a great time celebrating his birthday on the yacht with food, drinks, a jacuzzi, and more.
