How Evans pounced for Jaguar in Sao Paulo slipstreaming chess match
Jaguar halted the Porsche domination at the start of the new Formula E era, as Mitch Evans led an all-big cat-powered podium trio on the series’ first trip to Sao Paulo. In a race nobody wanted to lead, Evans picked his moment to pounce while championship frontrunners Pascal Wehrlein and Jake Dennis hit trouble
"It was just amazing to go toe-to-toe with these guys and try and outsmart each other, and we always said it's like playing chess out there."
If the inaugural Sao Paulo E-Prix had indeed been the equivalent of a chess match, there's no doubt that Mitch Evans would have been granted the rank of Grandmaster, as the Kiwi judged his moves to perfection en route to victory – his and Jaguar's first of the season.
