Antonio Felix da Costa thinks his own team's tactics allowed his rival Edoardo Mortara 'a breather' in the fight for FormulaE victory in Marrakech 👇
Antonio Felix da Costa says his position swaps with DS Techeetah team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne kept handing Marrakech E-Prix winner Edoardo Mortara"a breather" in Saturday's Formula E race.
Da Costa then dutifully played the team game to allow Vergne past but, towards the end, the cars swapped once more to give the Portuguese driver a shot at clearing the leading Mortara. "Obviously, when you start from pole and we had a lot of work before coming here in the team, and we thought we had it well under control, at least believed that we could have a race win here," da Costa recalled."I think ultimately, Edo and"My race was a little bit compromised by few things here and there, with Rowland nearly hitting me and I almost lost the car there, and Edo went to the attack mode and came back in front, and then the switch of positions with JEV as well.
"I knew it was going to be hard. But yeah, it's been it's been a few races since I was on the podium. A few good results for me lately in the last month or so, so it's good we've started building momentum towards the end of the season."Motorsport Images
