Just A Runner-up In Formula E Jakarta, Vergene Doesn't Want To Blame Hot Weather: Not A Disturbing Thing

JAKARTA - Jean-Eric Vergne had to settle for the runner-up position after competing in the ninth series of Formula E 2022 in Jakarta. Before the race, he had said that the weather at the Jakarta International E-Prix Circuit (JIEC) was quite hot.

However, Vergne was reluctant to make the weather a scapegoat for his failure to reach the fastest position. Instead, he felt that the weather in Jakarta didn't bother him at all.

“This race I really like, especially because of the warm weather. But the reason I lost is not because of the weather, as I said it is not a bother," said Vergne after the race.

Vergne was actually heartened to say that the product was due to another mistake. Therefore he will take this result as a lesson in the next series.

“I was defeated for other reasons. This is a lesson for me and the team, then I will be even better," he said.

Vergne had to finish the race on Saturday 4 June afternoon with unsatisfactory results. The DS Techeetah racer finished in second place because his time was 0.733 seconds adrift of Mitch Evans, the Jaguar TCS Racing racer who won the series this time.
