Jaguar has come close to winning the FormulaE title on several occasions, including in the recently-concluded 2023 season. But with Nick Cassidy joining the team to partner Mitch Evans, the British manufacturer must succeed next year:
“Sam is a fantastic racing driver, he’s a fantastic human being and I think, from our point of view, if we look back [we had] some great memories together,” says Barclay. “I think he’s really proud to have raced for Jaguar, he joins an incredible list of drivers who have raced for this amazing brand and we’re proud to have had him drive for us.James Barclay
Both Kiwis demonstrated incredible form during this year’s campaign, each taking four wins and heading to the London finale with a shot at the title. In the rain-affected final race, they were each in a league of their own with Cassidy’s win meaning he pipped Evans to the runner-up spot by just two points. At the ages of 28 and 29 respectively, both are just approaching the peaks of their careers and have enough experience in Formula E to get the job done when it matters.
Hypotheticals aside, it’s arguably a scenario Jaguar would prefer to have with Barclay admitting that the teams’ title is the priority and that the “team obviously comes first and the decisions we make are about the best result for the team”.
