António Félix da Costa is showing stunning form; the Portuguese works driver from the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team also won race two of the Portland double-header on Sunday. At the Portland International Raceway in America’s northwest, he netted his third victory in a row. With four wins this season, da Costa now has more victories than any other driver. Moreover, he narrowly missed out on pole position by a mere 0.025 seconds and qualified second. With seven race wins, the Porsche 99X Electric is the most successful Formula E single-seater of the year.
Pascal Wehrlein, a two-time winner this season, lost the front wing of his car after just a few laps, which threw him down the field to 17th place. The German then battled his way up the order to finish fourth. In the drivers’ championship, he slashed the gap to the leader; ranking third with two races left on the calendar. He currently shares the same points’ tally with second place.
The home event for the American customer team Andretti Formula E concluded with seventh for Norman Nato and tenth for defending World Champion Jake Dennis.
After the double victories in Portland and Andretti’s points yield, Porsche heads to the season finale in London as the leader of the manufacturers’ trophy. For both the drivers’ and the teams’ championships, the Porsche works team now ranks second. The battle for all Season 10 titles will go down to the wire on 20 and 21 July in the British capital.
