Envision Racing’s New Zealand driver Nick Cassidy won his second consecutive pole position but will not be able to start in the best position for Sunday’s race at the New York City Circuit.
Probably, after the ambiguous end of yesterday’s race, when there were doubts about the correctness of the decision of the FIA, which awarded the victory to Cassidy, Nick decided to prove that he really was the fastest, and he partially succeeded. .
He and António Felix da Costa made it to the qualifying final, but Nick triumphed in this game and showed the best time. However, just minutes after the end of the session, the race stewards announced their verdict: Cassidy was penalized and turned back 30 positions for replacing the battery pack and energy storage radiator after yesterday’s accident involving his electric race car.
For Cassidy, this is the fifth such radiator replacement since the start of the season. For example, the Envision driver, the winner of the first race of the American weekend, who has won qualifying twice, will have to start from the last, 22nd position.
And pole was inherited by António Felix da Costa, the 2020 Formula E champion who drives for the DS Teechetah team.
