The ABT Cupra team announced that it has been decided together with Robin Frijns and FIA doctors that the Dutch rider will continue his rehabilitation after a serious injury to his left hand that he sustained more than a month ago during the first stage of the new season in Mexico. City.
“The latest news about our team: together with the team and FIA doctor Robin Frijnes decided to give the hand a little more time so that it will not start in Cape Town,” such information appeared on ABT Cupra’s pages on social networks. “Robin is replaced by Kelvin van der Linde, this is his home track.”
At the end of January we discussed Frijns’ situation and there were already suspicions that the recovery period could be postponed due to the complex break. As a result, the 26-year-old driver from Johannesburg will replace Robin for the fourth round in a row: the race in South Africa will be held for the first time in Formula E history on February 25.
In the previous three rounds of the World Electric Car Championship, Van der Linde did not perform well: in Saudi Arabia he took 16th and 18th place and in India he did not finish.
