"I’m really looking forward to returning to Sardinia. It’s our first time returning to a track we have raced on before as a team. We’re hoping to build on the momentum from Scotland, where we achieved our first podium finish of the season. We had a really productive test after Scotland too, so I’m feeling confident going into this next round. The whole team have been working hard during the break, rebuilding the car to make sure it’s ready for the race. Bring it on!"
"After two months since Scotland, I’m looking forward to getting back in the Odyssey 21 car with the NEOM McLaren Extreme E Team. We experienced racing in Sardinia for the first time during the 2022 season, and I’m looking forward to putting a year’s worth of development and effort to the test on known ground.
"The team have been working hard and have come up with some innovative ways to cross utilize our technologies from the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team. I’m hoping we can build on the momentum from Scotland and fight for the top step of the podium once more."
"Going into Rounds 5 and 6 of the championship, we are looking to build on the success we had on the Sunday in Scotland. The 2nd place was a reward of some really impressive work from all the team as well as some fantastic driving from both Tanner and Emma.
"The team have been working non-stop since we left Scotland. We first took the Odyssey testing in Wales before completing a full rebuild of the car to put us in the best shape possible for the rest of the season.
"Additionally, the drivers have been working hard with their respective driving programs, Emma spending most of the time since Scotland in Europe, driving as much as she can, so as we are all in the best shape possible as we head to Sardinia.
"We know the track in Sardinia is tough and we saw how difficult it could be last year. It will as always be a tough challenge, but our aim is to build on the success in Scotland and aim for the top step."
