McLaren RacingLondon E-Prix Preview

"I’m especially looking forward to the London E-Prix, which is the home race for NEOM McLaren and myself. To race in London will be very special, in front of a home crowd, family and friends. From a performance standpoint, we had a very challenging weekend in Rome and didn’t come home with any points. Our goal for London will be putting two strong days together, scoring points and hopefully challenging for a podium."

"I’m looking forward to closing the season in London, especially as it is NEOM McLaren’s home race. Our motivation is very high, and we’re hoping to turn our luck around after a few challenging races. We’re hoping to put everything together in qualifying and the races and score some points, which would be a good boost for the whole team. Our qualifying and race pace has been strong across the last few races, which is positive, and we’re hoping to end the season on a high."

"We are already gearing up for the last two races of this season, which take place this coming weekend in London. The year so far has been an adventure for the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team. At the start of the season, we opened a new chapter for the team as we had the privilege of becoming part of the McLaren Racing family and its rich heritage. Since then, we’ve achieved some highlights, such as McLaren Racing’s first pole position and podium finish in Formula E in Diriyah. Equally, we’ve faced some challenges and a run of poor results which fell below our expectations. However, we have learned a huge amount, which will make us stronger for the future. 

"I’m now looking forward to returning to London for one of the most exciting races on the Formula E calendar – a unique track in motorsport with both an inside and an outside section. The atmosphere which the British fans bring and the quality of the racing at this venue have already made it an absolute highlight. 

"Thanks to the fans for your support so far. We hope to make you proud one more time, concluding Season 9 in style. Bring on the London E-Prix!"
