魏尔林在雅加达第十回合重返胜轨 - 2023 古拉维特雅加达大奖赛报道
- Wehrlein wins in Jakarta as ABB FIA Formula E World Championship returns to Indonesia following last season’s debut
- Jake Dennis finishes second but vents frustration at Wehrlein for early race move
- Maximilian Günther finishes third in searing heat of Jakarta with second race of the double-header tomorrow, Sunday
A cool and collected drive by Pascal Wehrlein delivered a win in the soaring heat of race one in the Gulavit Jakarta E-Prix double-header, propelling his TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team back to the top of the Teams’ championship.
Wehrlein led home Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E Team), who reacted strongly after the race claiming the Porsche driver made a “ridiculous” maneuver forcing Dennis to take evasive action.
Maserati MSG Racing driver Maximilian Günther stayed in the leading pack throughout the race, finishing third. He started in Julius Bär Pole Position, the first Maserati pole in single-seater motorsport since 1958.
In the first race of the double-header in Jakarta, Wehrlein started third and traded places for the lead with polesitter Maximilian Günther over the opening third of the E-Prix, having first made his way by his compatriot on Lap 4.
From Lap 12 and the second ATTACK MODE activation, Wehrlein was able to manage things comfortably in the most trying conditions on a hot and humid afternoon where temperatures reached the mid-30s Celsius.
Dennis started second and finished second, with not enough in his Avalanche Andretti to overpower Wehrlein’s factory Porsche 99X Electric. His push for the front was compromised by a late-race push from Günther, who pressured the Brit for second, allowing Wehrlein some breathing room.
最终，Günther 没有找到突破口。DS PENSKE 的队友斯托菲尔-范多恩（Stoffel Vandoorne）和让-埃里克-维尔涅（Jean-Éric Vergne）分别获得第四名和第五名，根特的玛莎拉蒂 MSG 车队队友埃多尔多-莫塔拉（Edoardo Mortara）获得第六名。
Standings leader Nick Cassidy (Envision Racing) tried his best to outdo defensive maestro Vergne mid-way through the race. He had a lucky escape as he made a move from a long way back on an unsighted Vergne on Lap 20, narrowly avoiding damage to both front corners of his car, finishing seventh.
第六赛季冠军得主安东尼奥-费利克斯-达科斯塔（António Félix da Costa，豪雅保时捷电动方程式车队）获得第八名，落后卡西迪约15秒。罗宾-弗里恩斯（Robin Frijns）在排位赛中表现出色，以第九名的成绩为ABT CUPRA Formula E车队赢得了本赛季的第一个积分。
Jake Hughes rounded out the top 10 for NEOM McLaren Formula E Team, earning him the ABB Driver of Progress Award for making up the most places in the race after starting back in 20th on the grid.
However, it was another frustrating outing for Jaguar TCS Racing as their cars came to blows again, as they did in Hyderabad, with Sam Bird sending Mitch Evans spinning out of eighth position and crucial points late on in the race.
Two victories and a second place on the first three races of Season 9 put Wehrlein to the top of the Drivers’ championship. However, since his last win in Round 3, Wehrlein failed to make the podium until today while Cassidy hit form and took the lead in the standings with his win in Monaco, the race before Jakarta.
今天的胜利意味着魏尔林在积分榜上仅落后卡西迪2分，卡西迪的积分为128分，而豪雅保时捷以198分的9分优势跃居车队榜首。
Pascal Wehrlein, No. 94, TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, said:
“It feels awesome obviously. An exceptionally good race, qualifying was much better than in previous races. Thanks a lot, to the team, the car was awesome today, I was leading almost the whole race. It was not so easy on energy for me, I knew that the guys behind had a little bit more, and driving in the slipstream helps. But I think we defended well and are happy to be back on top. The team definitely deserves it and now we are looking forward to tomorrow.
“The last couple of races we were not where we wanted to be, had not scored the points we wanted, and qualifying was an issue for us. Today with P3 we qualified in the best position so far this season. A big turnaround for us in the last couple of weeks, and like I said thanks a lot to the team for all their hard work. Still a long way to go.”
Jake Dennis, No. 27, Avalanche Andretti Formula E, said:
"老实说，我很恼火。如果你对第二名感到恼火，那你的赛季显然很不错，但发车让我最终输掉了比赛，我们在尘土飞扬的赛道上打了太多车轮，掉到了第四名。与帕斯卡尔的配合太可笑了，我必须施加很大的压力才能避免撞到他的车尾。老实说，我不知道他是怎么做到的，这太荒唐了。另外两个人做得很好，他们只给我们留下了一辆车的空间，这是规则，然后帕斯卡就完全转向，一直冲到墙边，我不得不在直道中途猛踩刹车。他已经承诺要升起，这时你必须留出空间，但他没有。我们不能抗议他们，因为他们也有保时捷的动力系统。有点可笑。
"[明天，我们需要]在排位赛中顺利起步。排位赛超级重要；我没想到比赛会这样，从一开始就一马平川。我们的排位赛赛车很快--虽然没有马克斯的赛车快--但最终如果我们能在前两排发车，显然就能赢得明天的比赛。18 分是巨大的，我们击败了一些主要对手，明天我们将再接再厉"。
Maximilian Günther, No. 7, Maserati MSG Racing, said:
“I am happy. For sure we always want to win, as a racing driver when you start on pole you want to win. We were leading for a few laps, but we just did not have enough to beat the two Porsche guys. From the beginning they did a fantastic job, congratulations to Jake and Pascal. I had a few small issues, the car was not as perfect as it was the rest of the weekend, but still a good race car underneath me and happy with what we achieved today and this weekend, fantastic to be on the podium again. It was the maximum today, and we try to keep improving.”
Tomorrow, Sunday 4 June, it is Round 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and the second race in the 2023 GulaVit Jakarta E-Prix double-header at 3pm Indonesia time (9am UK).
