Dennis and Da Costa were forced to lament strategy miscues after being beaten by Cassidy to victory in the PortlandEPrix. FormulaE
Cassidy came out on top in what proved to be a three-way battle for honours in the closing stages of a race characterised by extreme energy saving and pack racing for most of the distance, before the pace picked up for the closing stages.
"The pole position helped for the [three bonus] points, but it was a negative to start on pole," said Dennis."We led the first four laps, and I was already one percent [of energy] down on Antonio. "We just need to refine everything, when to lead, when not to lead; that’s something Envision has got a good grasp on, better than us. We had the car to win, but we just need to find some things."Da Costa meanwhile was the first driver to seriously up the pace when he grabbed the lead on lap 22 of 32 from Cassidy, but he couldn't sustain the pace and was passed again by the Kiwi several laps later.
"I thought it was the right moment to go based on our simulator work. I think we have to refine those tools a little bit because it was slightly too early.
