Lewis Hamilton's X44 squad and Veloce Racing came out on top this weekend at Extreme E's HydroXPrix in Scotland. Full report ⬇️ ExtremeE
Veloce Racing took its second Extreme E victory of the season in Scotland, with Lewis Hamilton’s X44 team also taking a win after a penalty denied Andretti.Fraser McConnell and reigning champion Christina Gutierrez took victory for X44 in Saturday’s grand final before being hampered by a crash on Sunday, with Kevin Hansen and Molly Taylor prevailing for Veloce in the second final.
A broken upright put Veloce out of the subsequent heat, which was red-flagged after a huge roll for Abt Cupra’s Klara Andersson, who was squeezed into a hay bale but emerged unharmed. Arriving at turn one in fifth, McConnell used his hyperdrive boost perfectly on the exit to surge to the front but then ran wide and allowed Hansen to reclaim the advantage. Contact between the pair pushed McConnell wide and down to third behind Kristofferson. However, unsighted by a dirty windshield, Kristofferson drove into a wall and rolled off the course into retirement.
Sainz prevailed in the Redemption Race, with Mattias Ekstrom and Laia Sanz coming home ahead of Veloce’s pairing. Contact between Sanz and RXR’s Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky off the line in the second heat put both into a spin, the latter becoming airborne and collecting Gutierrez, who was able to continue despite her X44 car sustaining a lot of damage. Both the Sainz and RXR machines retired with suspension damage, but both teams made the final.
