Sam Bird says his podium in the DiriyahEPrix is a 'reward' for Jaguar's hard work after a troubled FormulaE season opener in Mexico.
Sam Bird says that his return to the podium at the Diriyah E-Prix was an"amazing reward" for Jaguar's work after the Mexico Formula E opener.The Briton scored his first Formula E podium in over a year after a trying 2021-22 season and had led the majority of the race's first two-thirds, but was powerless to resist Pascal Wehrlein's lap 30 overtake for the lead.
On the back of the Mexico City E-Prix weekend, which Bird retired from with a driveshaft issue, the London-born racer felt that his Diriyah podium had adequately rewarded the work Jaguar had carried out after the season opener to find performance."I'd like to say thank you to everyone at Jaguar, they've put in such a huge amount of work from Mexico, because Mexico was tricky and there were issues. To come here and get a podium is an amazing reward for the team.
